Item Overview

Description

This ca. 1940's Ken Spencer created a walking figure just like Frank Marshall although Ken's walking system was a lot more complex in design. This is an example of just that. The head on this figure is exact to the final Figure used by the Great Lester. His final Broadway Danny was a Ken Spencer figure. This figure has Slot jaw, and one eye is a rolling winker. The winker is a ring attached to string. The paint has been touched up. Ken Spencer was a prolific builder during the heyday of ventriloquism. He learned at about the same time as Marshall. His figures are very distinctive and are of a cartoon nature.
