MOUTH WORKS - PLEASE VIEW VIDEO: A movable mouth operated by a string in back of neck (SEE PHOTOS) that DOES work. Mouth opens when you pull the string and closes when you release the string (SEE VIDEO)
Measures 30" tall
Has "Juro Novelty Co (c) 1968" On The Back Of His Neck
In overall good condition considering he is almost 60 years old! Please do not expect a brand new flawless dummy
Clothing appears to be the correct 1960's vintage and show the usual wear from age, handling, display, use and storage (SEE PHOTOS - REQUEST ADDITIONAL PHOTOS IF REQUIRED
JURO BOX shows the expected wear from age, handling, display and storage. It does have some tape on it (SEE PHOTOS) but it is a solid box with all side flaps intact
Vintage 1960s Shoes Included
Includes Top Hat and Monocle
NOTE: TOP HAT HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS! The Top Hat shows extensive wear from age, handling and storage. There are also some small holes. As they will get with age, this hat was extremely soft and shapeless. Since there are no new ones to be had, it has been re-shaped (as best can be) and is presentable (SEE PHOTOS)
Please view pictures as they are part of the description.
Additional photos available upon request
================================
I am selling these ventriloquist dummies for the family of the owner. Proceeds will help them pay their expenses. I did not buy them new. I do not know the history of them. If there are any dates, I can only offer that information. I cannot and do not guarantee completeness, originality. All items sold AS-IS as I am not the original owner.
If you have any questions, ASK them before you buy so the item you receive is the item you are expecting! I am happy to answer any questions, provide additional photos, whatever I can to help you know what you are buying.
Unlike most eBay sellers I do not use the generic 'say nothing' AI description. I take the time to accurately describe the actual item in the photos. I post many photos from different angles. I cannot force you but, it is your responsibility to view those photos and read the description so you know what you are buying. I am also not responsible if you do not read the listing and make your own assumptions.
I CANNOT BE MORE HONEST THAN THAT!
SOLD AS "NO RETURNS"
================================
SHIPPING
STANDARD SHIPPING (TO CONTINENTAL 48 STATES ONLY) WILL BE USPS GROUND or UPS GROUND or FEDEX GROUND (My Choice)
Shipping includes full value insurance. Most sellers do not bother paying the additional $5-$10 to properly insure the package for full value above the standard free $100 coverage.. Then, if there is damage of loss, you have to jump through hoops and file a claim to get the $100 from the shipper (who frequently decline claims if the item was not packed properly), then you will need to get eBay involved to receive money refunded from the seller. Sounds like fun! Signature may be required
You must have a continental US residential or commercial address for UPS or FedEx shipping.
Due to the high cost to ship large packages by USPS (they add a surcharge to all large packages), If your address is a PO Box, AK, HI, PR, Guam, VI or APO please write BEFORE purchasing for an accurate USPS quote.
HANDLING TIME: This item will be shipped within Two (2) Business Days after receipt of clear payment. If payment is received on Thursday or Friday - it will be shipped the following week.
DELIVERY DATE: This is an eBay generated date. It is NOT stated or guaranteed by the seller or the shipping service. It is an eBay ESTIMATE based on a 'Best Case' scenario. It does not take into consideration Time of Year (Holidays), Shippers Seasonal workload, Natural Disasters (Hurricanes, Wild Fires, Volcanic Eruptions, etc) or even a sneak attack by aliens from Mars. It is an ESTIMATE! It is NOT a set in stone, guaranteed delivery date and should not be considered the definite ‘WILL ARRIVE BY’ date.
** WE SHIP WORLDWIDE USING THE EBAY GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM - IF INTERESTED OR NEED MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE INQUIRE! **
NOTE: Due to past experience where some people require tracking confirmation to acknowledge they have received every item shipped, I will no longer combine items.
EVERY ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED WITH ITS OWN TRACKING NUMBER TO CONFIRM DELIVERY.
================================
QUALITY PACKING / WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT:
(1) WE PACK PROFESSIONALLY AND WITH CARE!
(2) We only use NEW, unused boxes
(3) We only use NEW store bought packing material
(4) We DO NOT re-use boxes from someone’s garbage
(5) We DO NOT use airpacks
(6) We DO NOT use crumpled newspaper from someone's garbage as filler
(7) We tape ALL seems of the box, not just one strip of tape down the center on each side
Unrealistically Cheap or Free Shipping usually gets your item crammed into a tiny box or tossed into an empty box, unwrapped with little or no packing material If you have bought on eBay you know what I am saying is true!
=========================NO RETURNS:
Due to the reason for the sale, to help a family pay expenses, and due to the fragile nature of this item, it is sold as NO RETURNS - You agree to those terms upon purchase.
This item will be shipped WITH insurance
If it arrives damaged or broken, please contact UPS or USPS as it was shipped with insurance and the shipper is responsible for any damage that occurs while they have the package.

Thank You For Your Interest
