This Jerry is a collectors item. It is not a toy, nor should it be used for any performances.
Date of creation: Possibly early 1961. The head is all original except for minor touch up work that's basically invisible on the front of the hair, and bottom lip.The body is from a rare Charlie McCarthy (the hollow body version made by Juro, not the doll version mass produced to this day) and is all original except for the shoes. The suit & tie are made of crushed velvet.
It is in near mint condition with no rips, stains, or holes. This Jerry's mechanics have been adjusted to compensate for deformation, and now work perfectly and are not under any stress. (For context, all Jerrys made from 1958 to 1966 were made of plastic less capable of retaining their original shape over time, finding one that has still retained 90% of its original shape is nearly impossible nowadays).
