Item Details

Early 20th Century A. Quisto Ventriloquist Dummy Head

A quirky example of an early 20th Century A. Quisto ventriloquist dummy head. In the form of a smoking figure, with glass eyes and mouth that still opens and closes by pulling the string. It still has its original makers label on the inside as show. The right eye lid still moves but is a tad stiff due to its age and use. The reverse of the head has a paper flap that opens and closes but is fragile. Untouched in form and in completely original condition.



Dimensions in inches: H 20” x W 6” x D 6”
Age: Eary 20th Century
