Danny O'Day ventriloquist dummy doll puppet figure Jimmy Nelson vintage folk art

Description

This is the
head
to a 1967 "Semi pro" Danny O'Day, made for only about two years if I recall correctly, by Juro Novelty Co.
It is in 100% all original condition, even the rubber band is original. It has lost most of its elasticity over time, so although the mouth does work, when the head is tilted at certain angles, the jaw can partially eject outwards.
Paint job has some dings, but is almost near mint overall.
Note: this is a collectors item and should not be bought for a child.
