Original Frank Marshall ventriloquist dummy for sale. Dummy was completed on December 4, 1945 (the same year as the venerated Danny O\' Day, hence the resemblance). It belonged to and was used in performances by a vaudeville ventriloquist named George Troxell, a performer based in Indianapolis (the dummy was named \"Danny O\' Grady\") who was also a radio performer on WOWO Radio 1190 in Ft. Worth. It was then acquired by a gentleman by the name of Lew Fine, an amateur ventriloquist from Des Moine, Iowa. The inside of the dummy\'s head contains the relevant information written by Frank Marshall.Dummy is made of hard basswood with stationary glass eyes. Functions include moving mouth, winker, blinker and handshaker.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Americana. A dummy this beautiful, with provenance and one that has a striking resemblance to Danny O\' Day is extremely rare and does not come up for sale often. Once he is sold you will likely never have the chance again!
