Bill Matthews Visits the Ventriloquist Central Collection Again

Last month Bill Matthews visited the Ventriloquist Central Collection. He was nice enough to send this email along with pictures:

Hi Dan,

I just wanted to take a couple minutes to say, “Thank You” again for allowing me to stop by and view the collection again. It was a refreshing stop on my return trip home from ME and NH. “Larry” and I were quite busy there and stopping by was a welcomed “rest stop.” I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your new additions, as well as seeing some “old friends.” I really enjoyed our conversations. It was a great blessing to me. Hopefully the next time I stop by, my son and vent student, Stephen, will be with me. He really enjoyed stopping by the last time and was greatly disappointed he didn’t make this trip with me. Thank you, by the way, for speaking with him on the phone when he called. He wasn’t expecting that and got a real thrill out of it.

Danny O’Day Texaco Ventriloquist Doll

danny

Back in the early 1950’s Jimmy Nelson was making a rather big name for himself and he and Danny O’ Day became the spokesmen for Texaco gas. At that time Jimmy released a figure of Danny O’ Day all dressed in his Texaco outfit. This is one of those extremely rare dolls I am offering for sale.

You will see these for sale on the bid auction site and they will sell in deplorable shape with incomplete outfits, and always go in the $150.00 area. When you see them complete they will sell in the $400.00 area and if they are in mint condition they bring $1000.00 or more. The reason is the heads and hands were done in composition and they always deteriorated with age. Cracks and peeling of the composition and paint is a big problem they had.
