This wonderful fellow is one of Frank Marshall's
early Nosey figures. He was crafter mid 1930's and as you can see is
in all original condition except for a small touch up on his
forehead and on the side of his nose. He is 38" tall and has
everything original just as he came from Frank's shop. The wig ,
cloths and shoes are all original.
His functions are slot jaw, side to side self centering eyes and
single winker. His body is original slatted style prior to Franks
use of the spline for shaping his body fronts. The arms and legs are
the original stuffed muslin and the flat style Marshall hands are
present.
Unfortunately the original owner of this great figure is not known.
this figure was sold to a fellow who owns a record store and when he
purchased him he did not get any information or it was not known. He
then contacted me for this figure and I of course had to have him.
A great original Marshall Nosey of the early period.
