    Seller's info: RAY GUYLL JERRY MAHONEY. Offered here is Jerry Mahoney par excellence made by the 'prince of Jerry makers' master craftsman Ray Guyll (Gilmer Knuck just keeping Jerry company - not for sale). He has moving eyes amd mouth and comes dressed as shown in green & grey "Jerry suit" and vintage saddle shoes.

     Originally made for the late Judge Farber, I acquired him several years ago from his estate through Tom Ladshaw and have used him fairly often in my vent ministry; he remains in beautiful, excellent condition including mechanics. I found it necessary a few years ago to strengthen his headstick attachment as I noticed some loosening, and did so carefully & artistically (see pics); gave great strength and in no way hinders manipulation - can be trimmed back to normal if so desired. Recent figure acquisitions necessitates the sale. Serious inquirers feel free to call me with any and all questions at (540)580-7045; all emails answered a.s.a.p.

Price: Asking $1,695. Shipping & Ins. $40 in U.S.

   Seller's info: My name is Georgie and I am looking for a new home. I am a professional ventriloquist puppet from the Maher Studios located in Littleton, Colorado (USA), where I was created about 13 years ago by Clinton Detweiler. I am 38 inches tall and in a good condition in spite of a few blems on my face and a hand with some discoloration. I have not been retouched or cosmetically altered, although a little help would make me look new again. New hands could be secured reasonably at Maher Studio if you wished to replace. My face could be touched up although my blems hardly show at more than 5 feet distance. Check out my photos, nothing is hidden from view. Did I mention I have a perfect bod! I was rescued by my present owner, Mr. Keith, who adopted me. I had been resting in a suitcase under a bed for the last 12 years.

You see my former master hardly ever used me... he gave up on me cause he couldn't talk good enough for both of us. Mr. Keith wants to send me to a new home where I can be loved and used all the time. Mr. Keith is adopting another character and can't feed the both of us, so help! I need a new home!

My functions:

   * movable head (360 turning, nodding)    * movable lower jaw (upper and lower teeth/no tongue)    * movable eyeballs, right and left, without self-centering    * closing eyelids made of leather (both eyelids close at the same time/ or a one time blink with the right eye)    * raising eyebrows

What you'd get delivered:

   * 1 professional ventriloquist puppet shipped & packed carefully so no damage can occur. Mr. Keith guarantees it cause he ships pottery all the time and knows how to pack a kid like me.

   * 3 Outfits including: Regular boy with Tennis shoes, Swat Georgie outfit with hat and Georgie Washington outfit with hat. Wow, I look great all duded up, just look at my photos!

Price may be slightly less without outfits.

Price: $1,000. + shipping costs from Fulton, Mississippi.

SOLD!

   Seller's info: Up for sale is “Gordie”, an exceptional Alien soft figure built by the expertly craftsmanship of Verna Finley. He was originally commissioned to be built to be used for a Las Vegas show based on the famed “Area 51” which is less than 90 miles from the gaming mecca. Alas, the show was cancelled before he made his debut.

   Gordie is 37” head to toes, plus 6 3/4” for his antennae. He is extremely lightweight(almost weightless)at under 2lbs. The opening is designed for forearm access, with the hand going into the head. Verna built strong elastic bands into the mouth cavity to secure the Ventriloquist’s hand for movement. On this creation Verna added a function for moving eyebrows. Very Rare!! Very likeable, friendly, and comic-like facial features.

   A great figure for school shows, conventions, and walk-arounds. Comes to you as shown. Built in 1997, he is in about 99.999% condition as when he was originally received from Verna. Mrs. Finley is retired in Virginia and no-longer makes her excellent figures for the public. Her best known creation was Jeff Dunham’s “Peanut”. Her existing figures only increase in value because of their rarity, quality, and workmanship, and are unsurpassed for the pride of ownership that they generate.

    Owning a Verna is to soft puppets, as owning a Marshall or McElroy is with hard figures. Most of her figures are now found only in private collections. Highly sought after by professionals and collectors. It is rare to see a “Verna” up for sale. I met with Verna several years ago, and she stated to me that Gordie was one of her favorite creations. Definitely a one-of-a-kind Verna “Masterpiece”.

   There are several COPYCAT soft puppet creators in the current market. Don’t pass up the rare chance to own a true “VERNA”.

Price: $1,700 Paypal, Certified check, or a comparable Selberg figure accepted. Free shipping to 48conus. International, please e-mail me for shipping arrangements.

   Seller's info: Gort is one of the two last Bighead's figures made by Robert Mcray, who no longer makes these wonderful creations, increasing their value. Gort is of course a very unique ventriloquist figure, an amazing piece of functional art, and a collectors item. He can also be used perform with on stage.

   This alien mechanical sculpture has animations and special movements which include: opening mouth, side to side/self centering eyes, blinkers, winkers, upper section of head opens very wide (very funny and strange), special backing in mouth, raising and lowering arm, swollen and cracked toenail (shows the detail of this amazing figure).

   This functional sculpture, unique in the world, was ordered for 10 special shows at "The Olympia" in France.

   For more info, please check out Gort at the McRay website http://robertmcray.net/Gort.html

   Seller's info: "Trixie" is the creation of Ventriloquist figure maker Chuck Jackson. This is one of the nicest girl figures I have ever seen. Some of the girl figures look like a boy with a wig. Not "Trixie" She is a beautiful creation made and carved from wood.

Chuck Jackson was one of the premiere figure makers in the country and his creations are fantastic. This figure is no exception. Her blonde hair and deep blue eyes make her a gem to own.

"Trixie' comes with:

Side to side self centering eyes.

Individual winkers and a control to make them blink at the same time.

Moving mouth.

Right hand shaker-unique item!

The control stick is easy to operate and has top notch smooth controls!

Now for something special!

The cowgirl outfit that she is wearing was originally owned by ventriloquist Tommy Atkins. She was one of the top female ventriloquists in the country. She was the Lady Marshall at Storytown for over 35 years! She performed with "Cookie" a Foy Brown creation and this was one of her outfits that she used in her shows!

"Trixie' is wearing an original outfit that was worn by one of Tommy's figures.

When she arrived, she was wearing a boy type outfit so I wanted to pay tribute to my friend who would be happy that the costume would be put to good use. All you have to do is find some girl cowboy boots and you have a complete suit!

I am also including two cowboy child vests that were made especially for Tommy's figures.

The other clothes she was wearing are also included!

I absolutely love this figure! It is so lifelike that I could swear she could talk by herself!

If you are a collector or even a lady ventriloquist, you will be proud to own this figure!

There is only one slight mark on her neck from where her head sits in the hollow neck but that is natural when you turn the head in the body!

Any questions? Feel free to ask!

Please give her a good home!

She is ready for "Rootin-Tootin" Good Time!

You can see a video of her here...........

   Seller's info: This is a genuine original ventriloquist puppet crated by Norman Schneider. I fell in love with this puppet when I first saw it. This whimsical girl character is like none I have ever seen. She is so very unique. If I did not have to sell her, I wouldn't. But, unfortunately, I do. She is in excellent condition (see photos). She has a great hand grip on the inside and entry is from the bottom so when you hold her, she is easy to operate; while it looks like she is sitting in your arms. She is about 32 inches from head to heel. Very easy to manipulate. She is funny before she even opens her mouth! Visit Norman Schneider's website and see all his amazing puppets (site is in German, of course). He is a master craftsman. Or... Google his name (along with the word, "puppet") and notice how well he is loved by those who love quality puppets.
