This Frank Marshall figure has a superb face
which although is not a cheeky boy he certainly is as cute as any
cheeky boy out there.
He is 42" tall and came to me wearing this great pre war sailor suit
done in summer white. He only has mouth movement but what more do
you need with a superior looking figure. His hands are also original
carved wood and are of the flat style.
What really made me smile was the fact that this was one of Terry
Bennett's Frank Marshall figures. Now in the Ventriloquist Central
Collection is Terry's original Turner figure, Red Flannels (click
here) and this Marshall which I was told he purchased somewhere
around 1950. The figure itself dates from around 1938. A real Frank
Marshall treasure.
