Here's a REAL rarity! First, a very brief bit of background... Ellisdon & Son was sort of the British equivalent of the "Johnson-Smith Company" and "S.S. Adams"...all rolled into one! They had a HUGE magic and novelty business going in the early part of the last century. Ellisdon & Son published many of their own booklets and, like their U.S. counterparts, supplied material to not only amateur magicians but ventriloquists, too. I have several different pamphlets on ventriloquism that E&S released over the years.

          Several years ago, I acquired a collection of vent dialogues that had originally been sold by Ellisdon & Son. There were quite a number of duplicates in the lot, thus the inclusion of this rarity here. This 5" x 7-1/4" single-fold pamphlet features an original dialogue for vent and one figure. Stated on the dialogue, "...should suffice for a ten or fifteen minutes performance." Circa 1908. Can't be too many of these around!

          Would I recommend using the material in a show for today's audiences?  Probably not...but it's a really cool and VERY RARE collectible for the serious collector of ventriloquiana!

          In near mint condition. Comes archivally protected in a mylar bag with acid-free backboard.
