2 Ventriloquist Dolls
30" tall by K & S, from the 1930's. This is not Charlie McCarthy, but a look-a-like. Molded & painted composition head, hands & feet with stuffed stitch jointed cloth body (stuffing has worn down over the years, very thin). With monocle, original shirt & tie, suit appears to be much newer. Jaw hinge intact & shuts closed but string to open/ close does not work. Face has cracks corners, paint rub/ crack on nose, back of head has lost paint layers. Please see photos. 20" unmarked doll has molded & painted composite head, hands with stuffed cloth body. Newer clothes stitched onto body, there are some holes in cloth on thighs, possibly other areas. Jaw needs repair/ re-stringing to work.

Condition:
We have endeavored to describe all items to the best of our ability- however THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY. All items are SOLD AS IS. Personal inspection is recommended and welcomed during preview and any time before item is sold. The omission of a condition report in no way indicates the item is without flaws, damage, and age wear. Specific condition questions are welcomed at least 24 hours prior to the start of the auction. Each item's description is independent and should not be used as a precedent to judge other items. If you cannot ascertain the information to bid with certainty, please do not bid. Jewelry and precious metals are not automatically tested. This includes items that are stamped and hallmarked. Some items have been scanned in the Niton DXL. The readings have been noted, but this IS NOT A GUARANTEE. Personal inspection is always the best way for an individual to make the most informed bidding decisions. Precious stones are not tested or removed from mountings to determine carat. Appraisals are attached for some items. THIS IS ALSO IN NO WAY A GUARANTEE. An appraisal is based on one professional's opinion. WE SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL EXPRESSED AND OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY WITH REGARD TO ANY SALE MADE THROUGH APPLE TREE AUCTION CENTER. By bidding on the item you agree to any and all of these terms. We have many satisfied, repeat customers and look forward to the opportunity to count you as one.
