Origin: English Period: Early 20th Century Provenance: Unknown Date: c. 1920-35 Height: 36 inches Width (Shoulder to Shoulder): 12 inches (all approx). The period dummy of high build quality, in a taffeta and cotton white shirt with thick wool and nylon peat coat, the head with a thick shock of ginger curly hair under a navy school cap and the body constructed of a combination of paper maché, and plaster composition parts with lower limbs with fabric attachments with the wooden carved hands painted in a very light skin colour, the legs with royal blue woolen leggings and black painted plaster shoes. The face is also in a light skin color with reddened cheeks; the lips are painted red, the eyebrows and eyelashes black, the glass eyes blue with the whole being presented in the original quality leather carrying suitcase, in keeping with the period. In good overall original condition, there is only some small flaking to the paint on the raised parts of the face like the eyebrows, cheeks and nose. The costume for the dummy is of the highest tailored quality, and in excellent condition. The two buttons on the jacket are original as is the bow tie. There is one tape repair to one of the feet. Both the mouth and eye mechanisms are in good working order. There is a label for Magical Mart, 79 York st, London W1 on the underside of the dummy head. Burgess of Wandsowrth, London SW18. There are further labels for Cunard White Star Line to New York and other baggage labels. Arthur Quisto lived from 1882 to 1960. His real name was Edwin Simms. He was known primarily for his Punch & Judy Shows, but Quisto also built figures for Tom Coram and Arthur Prince. He used pneumatic devices and was the first to use electromagnetic devices to animate his figures. The uncanny nature of ventriloquists dummies has enthralled and spooked people for decades, and they continue to feature in horror films to this day. The idea of the ghost in the inanimate object is not a new one, Freud has written at length on the subject in his discussions on the uncanny, and ghost stories have featured dolls and portraits coming to life for centuries. A hugely entertaining vent figure of large size and with an incredibly jolly, albeit slightly neurotic, disposition. All pieces listed by Doe & Hope are of the finest quality.

For the Decorative, Rare & Unusual. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. An Early 20th Cased Ventriloquists Dummy; The Davenport No. 2 by Leonard Insull; c. Origin: English Period: Early 20th Century Provenance: Unknown Date: c. 1908-25 Height: 36 (at maximum) Width (Shoulder to Shoulder): 11 (all approximate). The large early twentieth century period dummy of high build quality, with seven operating mechanisms in tweed suit with two war medals including the Defence Medal with check bow-tie and black leather shoes, the head with short very dark brown hair and the body constructed of a combination of paper maché, and plaster composition parts with lower limbs with fabric attachments with the hands painted in a light skin colour. The face is also in a light skin color with the typical Insull reddened cheeks; the lips are painted red, the moving eyebrows black, the glass eyes hazel. The whole is presented in the original quality tin and iron bound carrying suitcase trunk, in keeping with the period. In good overall original condition, there is a crack through the top lip and some other areas of wear. The huge variety of seven mechanisms work and some have been recently repaired. The costume for the dummy is good quality, especially the shoes. The whole of the costume is original and slightly tired but thoroughly charming. The trunk is of high quality and has several labels to include the stamp of the owner Brigadier T. The dummy has obviously traveled all over the world. John Leonard Insull (born 1883) was Britain’s leading and most prolific ventriloquial figure maker of the twentieth century and between 1952 and 1974 he produced no less than 2017 pieces. He spent his early days in Wolverhampton and began his career as an apprentice to a joiner, however he soon developed a taste for magic and decided to go on stage under the name of Hinsle, the Comedy Illusionist. He was often assisted by his wife Gertie Rees, who did a clog dance; and eventually they toured the world together. Leonard Insull worked with his son (also named Leonard Insull) who specialized more in animated slot machines. The collaboration ended with the death of his son in 1957 aged 43. He created many hundreds of items for Davenports magic shop. Leonard Insull died in 1974. Len insull started making dummys in the early 20s for a ventriloquist called Coram the Ventriloquist, he embarked on a venture that would ensure a permanent and illustrious place in the history of ventriloquism. Then after the news of Insull’s work reached Lewis Davenport, he asked Insull to supply figures to his magic business. He made two basic heads for Davenports: a No. 1 head with three movements: bottom lip, top lip and turning eyes; and a No. 2 head with the above plus two winks, moving eyebrows, and ears. This is a no. 2 – and the best you will find. The uncanny nature of ventriloquists dummies has enthralled and spooked people for decades, and they continue to feature in horror films to this day. The idea of the ghost in the inanimate object is not a new one, Freud has written at length on the subject in his discussions on the uncanny, and ghost stories have featured dolls and portraits coming to life for centuries. This rare example by one of the best makers of vent figures the world has ever produced, and with no expense spared in his creation, is a superb fully loaded example for the professional. All pieces listed by Doe & Hope are of the finest quality. However, any imperfection, which is deemed to be more than just natural ageing, will be duly described above.
