The owner wanted this vintage doll's mouth repaired and the old wig removed. Then repainted as original so the doll could be added to his collection.
REPAIR, UPGRADE, & REPAINTING for ventriloquist figures and dolls were a major service provided to the ventriloquist community by Clinton Detweiler. This album shows examples of such jobs completed by Clinton. (Such service work is now provided by Kevin Detweiler: animatedpuppets@charter.net)
