This particular one is Titino the sailor (not the one in the videos), was made in the late 1950's and used through the 1960's and to present. He shows much wear cause material is Artesian in nature. So that many years, Titino needs a touch up and revision. Which I will do and once done he will be must more valuable. This can serve as a prototype for making them here in the USA, and you can use them to entertain. Arts and Crafts students and officialnados would love to copy cat and make their own personalized ventriloquist. This can serve as a way of making a living if your good at it, you can open a Ventriloquist Cafe etc. This is a rare model and very hard to find , because the ones made now in Mexico City is the new generation of Artisans. The old ones from the 1st, 2nd and even the 3rd are very rare and circa collector's items now.

Manufacturing has been and is currently based out of cardboard and white glue or glue. Preparing, paper mache type but reinforced with an inner layer of the paste, later to paint, so being a craft , no piece is alike.

This one can easily be touched up with new material and new painting, of course with all the right colors. Has two pulls from the head area, one to move the mouth which shows his teeth, and the other one to move his eyebrows. You can also remove his hair if you want and put a new wig, (but really I would not because you would take the value from him/it.)

Take him to your art class, or your home, love him some more.

My father was a ventriloquist but he died 2 years ago (Sept 2009), so this was his favorite one. Titino lost his mariner's outfit, he has his PJ's on right now and also he has dressed up for taking his picture ,Outfits will be included, not a big deal on the clothes just some Pj's from today's world from kids Dept's. Titino gets very cold, so it was the least I can do to cover him up. His Original suit can be made if your into sewing, but that can easily be bought as well. Please see all pictures. The last picture is how Titino the sailor should look with his outfit and a spruced up face and hands.
