Lot 7: Ken Spencer Ventriloquist Figure ca. 1940-1950

This Spencer figure is another very fine figure which is in very nice original condition not having had any work done on him since he left the hands of Mr Spencer. This figure has slot jaw, side to side moving eye by way of weight control, each eye also winks and they can blink together and he also has raising eyebrows. His wig is a long wig but it too is original and has never been removed from the head. The original nails are still in place. It unfortunately covers the very nice dish ears. The paint is original and does have some minor rubs and shows a bit of wear. Untouched and just how you like to find them. He has Ken Spencer's signature up-swept pointed nose and ball cheeks. A very nice face indeed. All the controls on this figure are lever except for the raising eyebrows which has a ring pull. Spencer did use a combination of both in his multi function figures. The height of this figure is 42" and he has all his original muslin arms and legs and the wood hands are also original. Body is wooden and has Mr Spencer's typical V shapes ball and socket.

1940-1950
