Theodore Mack Ventriloquist Figure Over 100 Years Old Unboxing Desmond

Here is the unboxing of a Theodore Mack figure. Over 100 years old. Was guessed to be made between 1915 to 1920, but I think he could certainly be older.
Theodore Mack (also called Ted Mack) was famous for creating the original Charlie McCarthy for Edgar Bergen in 1922.
Ted Mack also made great figures for The Great Lester, well known Ventriloquist back in the early 1900’s.
I acquired this unique rare figure from well-respected Ventriloquist Jerry Goodspeed who got him from the famous Ventriloquist Canfield Smith.
I feel fortunate to have this Desmond (named by Jerry) in my collection.
I give a more historic details in this video during the unboxing.

I will follow up this unboxing video with a Skit I had just done with Desmond, 2 + years after this unboxing.

I am starting to sell off a good bit of my collection so if you have serious interest in him email me.
