Pinxy's
Charlie
McCarthy
George Pinxy Larsen was a
contemporary of Frank Marshall, Ken Spencer and the other
ventriloquist figure builders of the golden era. All of the makers
were influenced by the popularity of Edgar Bergen's Charlie and
Mortimer figures.
This full size figure is a wonderful creation in the likeness of
Charlie McCarthy and he has moving mouth and side to side glass
eyes. I have this Charlie dressed in a sporting outfit instead of
the usual tuxedo as we have all seen Charlie dressed in a multitude
of outfits throughout his career.
I have him sitting with the
Pinxy
Mortimer and they certainly enjoy each others company.
