(aka Charlie McCarthy \'look-a-like\')
33\" VENTRILOQUIST DUMMY DOLL
Made By REGAL DOLL Co.
Circa 1930s-40\'s

HISTORY
The Willie Talk doll is a famous vintage ventriloquist dummy primarily associated with the Horsman Doll Co, though its history is linked to the Regal Doll Company, which acquired Horsman in 1933. While Regal produced composition dolls under its own name in the 1930s, the Horsman brand eventually became the dominant name for this line beginning in the 1940\'s

Historical Background
The Willie Talk / Dummy Dan character has existed in various forms across several decades, evolving in materials and design.

1930s Era: Early versions, often referred to as \"Charlie McCarthy\" clones or \"Dummy Dan\" types, featured composition heads and limbs with cloth stuffed bodies.
DESCRIPTION/CONDITION:
The Willie Talk / Dummy Dan ventriloquist was primarily manufactured in the 1930s-40\'s By Regal Doll Co.

- Materials: It typically features a composition head and limbs with a cloth body.
- Features: The doll has painted facial features, molded hair, and an articulated mouth operated by a pull string.
- Head/Hands: Made of composition material used in that era of doll making. Shows the expected wear (cracks) from age, use, handling, display and storage. Head has a crack at the seam (which is common for composition material after so many years) but it is not split open.
- Clothing:Jacket and pants appear to be newer than 1930s-40\'s so they have been changed. Shoes have been added(SEE PHOTOS)

MOVEMENTS: MOUTH WORKS PROPERLY (Pull the string and his mouth opens. Release the string and the mouth closes (SEE VIDEO)

This ventriloquist dummy doll is over 80 years old. It is NOT new. It is NOT without flaws. You wont find many in this nice of a condition AND working!

SHIPPING

STANDARD SHIPPING (TO CONTINENTAL 48 STATES ONLY) WILL BE USPS GROUND or UPS GROUND or FEDEX GROUND (My Choice)

NOTE: These large 32\" dummies require a larger box to ensure arrival undamaged. We do not cram items into tiny boxes as many sellers who charge $5-$10 shipping do. When the seller pays the shipping he goes for the smallest box and the lowest c=shipping charge, sometimes at your expense.

The head will be wrapped separately. Most sellers do not care about that. We do! The box will be approx 22x12x10. If you feel the shipping is expensive, it is. Feel free to contact the USPS, FedEx or UPS and ask them how much they charge for a box that size from 34770 to you. We do not profit from shipping. We ship with full value insurance which to some items is an additional $5-10 charge that they add on. Shipping stated as we are quoted. Shipping is based on box size, weight and distance. Larger box costs more to ship.

You must have a continental US residential or commercial address for UPS or FedEx shipping.
