(Used by Paul Winchell) Jerry Mahoney ventriloquist dummy doll puppet figure - $6,500 - (Highland Mills, NY)
(More pictures coming shortly)This is a replica of the original Jerry Mahoney, made by Winchell's long time friend, Jerry Layne. It was made in 2000. Unlike most replicas, this one was made for Paul specifically, this is confirmed by Layne's handwriting inside the head, which reads "MADE FOR PAUL WINCHELL". I have owned quite a few replicas made by Layne in the past, and I can guarantee that he wrote this. The wig (which is glued to the head) has never been taken off or tampered with in any way. Winchell used this Jerry for what I assume was a while before gifting it to one of his grandchildren in person, around the same year it was made. I have tried many times to get a clear picture of the writing inside of the head, but the unfortunately the most I was able to get was the "WINCHELL" part. Jerry is 100% all original and works perfectly. The slot jaw does not stick, and the self centering eyes work just fine. The paint job is still in very good condition with only a few minor flaws (see pictures for details) Feel free to ask any questions. From the largest Jerry Mahoney collection in the world
