Even though I have the marketplace on the website, I still will purchase ventriloquist figures privately from you. I am always searching to purchase and I have had many people contact me and ask if it is OK to offer me figures instead of listing on the marketplace. The answer is YES!! I certainly could not put my collection together without the contact of those of you wishing to sell.
W.S. Berger in the last century did exactly the same. He let everyone know that he had open arms for all their ventriloquist dummies as well as any pictures, papers or novelty items concerning this great art. I would like everyone to know that I too am doing just the same as this great collector of the past has done. So please when you think about selling contact me and let me know what you have and maybe your figure will become part of the Dan Willinger collection.
I am most interested in acquiring figures by Frank Marshall but of course all other makers are wanted and will be given a great home and proudly displayed. I try to photograph and give the most complete background of both the figure and the previous owner or owners as I possibly can and once posted it will always be readily available for viewing on this site. Also I do in fact have every figure out and not boxed away. I use every figure and clean them all continually to keep them in perfect working and looking order. You ventriloquial pal will always be cared for here in my collection.
So PLEASE consider me when you look to part with your figure.
