Boley Bird #8 has landed in The Dummy Den. I recently acquired this vintage Crazy Bird figure made by the late great Col. Bill Boley. He has some provenance as he came from the collection of magician and ventriloquist Jay Marshall via his grandson. I’m honored to have this figure. I believe he had moving wings at one time because there is space where the wing mechanisms would normally go as well as hooks for the strings. The wings have since been glued to the sides. When I started collecting ventriloquist figures, my first figure as a collector piece was a yellow Crazy Bird. I just love those little guys.
