Ventriloquist Central Collection Growing By Leaps & Bounds

It is hard to believe but Ventriloquist Central is almost hit the 7 year mark and if you haven’t heard we are having a Birthday Bash to celebrate…. http://www.ventriloquistcentral.com/birthdaybash/

However, that isn’t the reason for this blog. This blog is to reflect on the collection of Ventriloquist Central.

Back seven years ago I was introduced to Steve Hurst, the webmaster and my partner on Ventriloquist Central, and he agreed to do up a web site to showcase the collection of figures I had put together at that time.

I had, if I am not mistaken, 37 antique ventriloquist figures at that time and of that amount I had 4 Frank Marshall Figures. Man I was proud to let everyone see the collection I had put together.

Well we fast forward to today and I just did a recount of the Ventriloquist Central Collection and as of today there are now 183 figures in the collection. This really amazes me that I have been able to put this collection together because finding antique figures today is not an easy task.

Also the Frank Marshall figure selection now stands at 70 figures. I think I have examples of just about every head from every Marshall duplicarver heads that he made. This count does not include the many wood carved duplicarver heads, hands and marionette heads that are also part of the collection.

My new goal is reach the magical 200 number. I know it will take a bit of time but I am sure I will reach that number in the not too distant future.
