As you know, I love Frank Marshall ventriloquist figures.
Today I have a real treat for you. Here’s a video of a great little early Frank Marshall Nosey ventriloquist figure that’s not on the website (as of yet anyway).

Bob Abdou sent in more information about the First Annual Texas Ventriloquist/Puppeteers Gathering.
Texas is known for it’s size and talent. Many of the top ventriloquists have a Texas link: Jeff Dunham, Terry Fator, Ronn Lucas, Jay Johnson, Sammy King and ME, Bob Abdou. Now there is the Texas Ventriloquist/Puppeteers Gathering held on February 19th, 2011. What started as an idea could now be a foundation of things to come.
It always hurts me when I have to part with a figure and it is especially true for this particular figure because as you will see from the pictures this is what is called NOS ( New Old Stock ) and that is almost impossible to find with vintage ventriloquist figures.
This is a Ken Spencer figure which was purchased as a back up figure and then put away and never used. It sat in storage for decades until I acquired him. I vowed I would not sell him but because of some very expensive purchases for the Ventriloquist Central Collection I must let him go. It is as if you just came home from Ken Spencer’s shop with a new pal.
I can’t tell you how happy I was when Bob Isaacson decided to let his hand carved “Charlie McCarthy” reside in the Ventriloquist Central Collection.
I’ve had many requests to see a video of this outstanding ventriloquist figure, so here it is.
Our good friend Bob Abdou held “The First Annual Texas Ventriloquist/Puppeteers Gathering” in Austin, TX, yesterday and sent us the following information and pictures:
