Does Not
work and needs to be repaired.  The recoil band for the mouth has long since gone bad.
It says Juro Novelty Co on the back of the neck
NOTE
:
This is a more sturdy "CLOTH STUFFED" body ventriloquist dummy that will actually sit up when you place it in a sitting position!    This Emmet Kelly Jr ventriloquist dummy is probably 40-50+ years old (I do not know exactly as there is no date on the neck) but it is cloth stuffed (like the dummies I have listed made in the 1950's & 60's), giving it a more dense feel.
Dummy, head and hands all in good condition with the usual wear from use and age
Shoes are missing
Please view pictures.
This ventriloquist dummy is part of a large collection of items I am selling for the family of the collector who has passed on... proceeds will help them pay their expenses. For this reason this item is being offered as NO RETURNS!
This ventriloquist dummy was part of his personal displayed collection.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND
- I am selling these ventriloquist dummies for the family of the owner.  I did not buy these new and I do not know the history of them.  Some may be all original as when new, some may not be.  I was told he did repair some, replace a head and or a body if one got worn or damaged.  If there are any dates, I can only offer that information - I cannot guarantee completeness, or originality of these dummies as I am not the original owner
If you have any questions, ASK
them before you buy so the item you receive is the item you are expecting!    I am happy to answer any questions, provide additional photos, whatever I can to help you know what you are buying.
I cannot be more honest than that!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND UNDERSTANDING

SHIPPING
THE PRIMARY SHIPPING METHOD WILL BE UPS OR FEDEX
You must have a continental US residential or commercial address to select UPS or FedEx shipping
(AK, HI, PR, Guam, APO, VI, PO Box, etc. addresses cannot be shipped UPS or FedEx without an expensive surcharge)
Because the USPS charges a premium price for Priority Mail (and raised their rates again in January) without improving their service nor do they feel obligated to deliver it within the 2-3 days time they state and that YOU pay for, I do not offer that service as my primary shipping method.  Recently I have had Priority Mail packages arriving 5-7 business days or more coast to coast.  Both UPS and FedEx deliver all packaged within 4-5 days (even coast to coast) and they are allot less expensive than USPS Priority Mail.
If you prefer USPS Priority Mail
(or your address is a PO Box, AK, HI, PR, Guam, VI or APO) email me and I will be happy to reply with an accurate quote.  You should know that the USPS now charge a premium for any package over 1 cubic foot (12x12x12).  The price can double or even triple depending the dimensions and how far it has to travel.  If you prefer this method do not expect the package in 2-3 days!
AND do not complain to me when it takes a week or more to arrive!
HANDLING TIME
:
This item will be shipped within Two (2) Business Days after receipt of clear payment.  If payment is received on Thursday or Friday - it will be shipped the following week.

QUALITY PACKING / WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT:
(1) We only use
NEW
,
unused boxes
(2) We only use
NEW
store bought packing material
(3) We
DO NOT
re-use boxes from someone’s garbage
(4) We
DO NOT
use airpacks or crumpled paper filler
(5) We
DO NOT
cram an item into the tiniest box
(6) We
drive the extra distance
to drop off at FedEx or UPS instead of the local Post Office.
That is because UPS & FedEx costs less and delivers faster than USPS Parcel/Ground (Days instead of Weeks)
IT IS YOUR TIME AND YOUR MONEY.
DO WITH IT AS YOU WANT!

Before writing and telling me "Shipping is too expensive, others only charge ", call UPS, USPS or FEDEX.  Ask them what it costs to ship this box from AZ 85142 to you.  If they tell you less and I can verify it, I will be happy to accommodate!
