Used by: Al P. Saal
Trivia:
1. Jerry is dressed in a bell boy outfit with brass buttons and cap.
2. In addition to being a ventriloquist, Jerry�s previous owner, Al
P. Saal, was also a Shadowbox artist.
3. In letters back and forth between Saal and Vent Haven founder W.S.
Berger, Berger stated how much he enjoyed shadowbox artists. As a
result, when Saal sold this figure to Berger, he shipped it to Vent
Haven wrapped in a sheet he had used in his shadowbox performances.
Berger wrote that he was �delighted.�
4. According to the correspondence, Jerry was built circa 1918.
5. Jerry is on display in Building Three of the museum. He can be
