I often wondered why Archie Andrews was such a hit on radio given that he was part of a ventriloquist act! Did'ty the advent of tv kill his career and that of his handler Peter Brough. I seem to remember that all of a sudden people could see his lips move.... not Archie's that is!

Oh my! I won't show this collection to the kids!
Just been enjoying all your collections! Don't feel nearly so eccentric myself now! Especially love the TVS.!
That bottom middle one makes the hairs go up on the back of my neck...........
My word verification is "scroto" - maybe "Mr Bottom Middle" has scary powers!
But, Cathy, Mr Bottom Middle is Archie Andrews, beloved puppet. Google 'Archie ventriloquist' on Google Images if you dare...
MMMC, are you suggesting I frighten little children?!
