There is a word I don't like to
use often and that is the word RARE. But I must use it in the
description of this ventriloquist figure which I recently acquired for
the Ventriloquist Central Collection.
This is a rare Insull figure made back in the
1950's and he is I believe the smallest version that Len Insull
produced. He is only 27" tall and is a full functioning professional
ventriloquist figure.
This little fellow has a paper mache head with side to side moving
weighted eyes, lower lip moves and his ears wiggle. He has the flat
bottom neck which falls through the neck hole into his paper mache
body. The base of the body is wood. His hands and lower legs and feet
are also paper mache.. His hair is original mohair and his paint too
is all original. A most unique find in the way of Len Insull figures.
I find that the face of this little fellow is very similar to the face
Len Insull used on his pocket figures.

I do hope you enjoy seeing this rare Insull. It is the only one I have
seen since I started collecting. |
