1950s JERRY MAHONEY Ventriloquist dummy puppet figure doll Paul Winchell

Description

This Jerry is a collectors item.
It is not a toy, nor should it be used for any performances.
Height: 32 inches
Manufacturer: Juro Novelty Co.
Date of creation: Sometime in the 1950s. Possibly 1953.
This is a very nice 50s Jerry in all original condition. I cleaned this one and pressed the clothes a few years ago. The head was dirty originally but I spent about a week slowly cleaning it as to not damage the fragile blush & eye shadow layer. The result is a Jerry that looks near mint other than a few sections of the paint job that is damaged.
The clothes are in very good condition, usually even when they aren't faded, you'll see yellow & brown dots all around the front and back of the suit due to age. This Jerry's clothes does not have any of that, the only problem is there is very small remnants of dried glue residue left from where the original tag was.
The mouth works perfectly.
The original box is missing a part of the handle but is in otherwise good condition with no fading.
The original canvas shoes have not solidified but have a bit of flaking at the edges. They are packed in the front with tissue paper to give them the rounded shape they're supposed to have.
I am the owner of the largest Jerry Mahoney collection in the world, and the leading expert in Jerry preservation & repair as well.
