| Glenn Haywood was a
ventriloquist that hailed from the San Francisco Bay area. He worked
as an MC, Magician and Ventriloquist. He performed on the Ed
Sullivan Show but his claim to fame was his work with Holsum
Bread company and did many commercials for them with his figure "Freshy".
This figure was made in the mid 1950's by Marshall and is one of
very few that had these large round eyes. He has side to side self
centering eyes, crossing eyes and of course slot jaw. This was
Glenn's back up figure and he is in near mint condition because he
was not used. When I purchased him it was just the head but I had an
original Marshall body and hands so now he is a complete figure.
Here is a superb example of Frank Marshall's carving talent. |
