| A Fellow by the name of Andy
Willis was on his way to a band rehearsal in Chicago and it was a
rainy Friday afternoon and he happened by a thrift store hoping to
purchase an umbrella. As he looked around a pair of wooden eyes
caught his eyes. Low and behold he had found this wonderful Frank
Marshall Nosey figure which had just been put out for sale. He and
his wife got a bit creep ed out by him and decided to sell him.
I was contacted as well as some other
collector dealers in the vent world and I was the lucky one to
finally get him. He is one of the premier examples of a Nosey that
Marshall carved and you can certainly see where Jerry Mahoney came
from by looking at this little fellow. He is all original right down
to the clothing and except for some chipping of the white of his
eyes, he is in near perfect condition. A true treasure. So keep
checking those thrift stores. !!! This
exceptional Marshall Nosey figure has the following functions, slot
jaw, side to side self centering eyes, right eye winks and he has
raising eyebrows. A true museum ventriloquist figure!!
