Frank Marshall carved some wonderful figures for performer Johnny Main from Niagara Falls New York. This was Marshall’s first creation for Johnny. His name is Archie. He is a superior figure in the Nosey style and was loaded up by Frank with the following functions. Slot jaw, side to side self centering eyes, crossing eyes, winkers/blinkers and upper lip smile.
Here’s a video of Johnny Main’s “Archie”.

Wonderfull figure. Thanks for sharing!
Johnny wrote to me when he got the figure, some problem with one of the controls, and had to send back to Frank Marshall to fix it.
