Super Rare Vintage Ventriloquist dummy puppet doll By Foy E. Brown. Sliding Wig Movement and Precision Cut Slotjaw bot totally silent. Fixed Glass Irises with painted Eyes. Included is some information I obtained from a precious owner about some of the history of this puppet. Also I obtained some old newspaper clippings from the 50's-60's and an old puppet Booklet from 1938 that the previous owner got with the puppet. Below is the information I acquired from a previous owner

He got him from a family who was downsizing.
I reached out to them to see if they knew the back story,
This is what I got from them.
“I was involved in puppet ministry back in the early 90's. A friend of the family had an aunt who had done the same in probably the 60's or 70's. The puppet had been on a long sabbatical and she thought I might put him back to work. I worked him for a while, or tried to, but I just never got into it. His original partner was in a Pentecostal church in rural area around Albany. Recently, having moved, I touched base with the neice who had given him to me thinking she might want him back as her aunt had passed some years ago. There wasnt really any interest in that happening so I offered him up on CL. I don't know how old the puppet is but I am pretty certain he was not new when gifted to the aunt. Her involvement in youth ministry was in the early 70's so I'm guessing the puppet is at least 50 -75 years old or even older. There was an old instruction booklet with him which got separated over the years. Probably in my old puppet literature somewheres.”
That is all the info, I was able to get from them.
You will get the puppet as pictured and the old newspaper clipping scrapbook with the ventriloquist bookl
