it looked like the boy was holding a lighter to me. the little sadist was going to set the dog on fire and laugh.

No matter what toy it is, why is the now exposed "skull" exactly the same color and texture as an actual real-bone specimen? Maybe the skin that once covered this frame was equally, and oddly, just as realistic. If so, it's intended purpose could only be mimicry of horrors unimaginable, which were played out to countless audiences of one, in puppet shows no one should have had to attend; Evil was the star of this show and Evil pulled the trigger that moved the mouth but the art of ventriliquism was a craft mastered by the wide-eyed spectators,which is evident by the screams heard among these walls, voices thrown long ago yet still audible if you listen closely. If this head finds its jaw, "Encore!" is the word it would say, the last word Evil had intended to come from the dolls mouth, silenced abruptly by the hospitals closure and the twisted practices that were never to be spoken of again.

that poor baby. I weep for God's creatures that are hurt and sad... I pray that no one hurt this poor thing and it was not tormented.. I weep as well as God for his creation........

I thugoht I'd have to read a book for a discovery like this!

Are those scratch marks on the wall?

This shot is almost depressing...

I remember seeing a picture like that in an old book of my grand-parents. Creepy...

I'm surprised no one had pointed out the velvety fuzzy type shiz that's still on it. None of the other suggested toys had any texture like it... I'm guessing it was a puppet of the sorts? The slot of the forehead could have held some accessory in place back in the toys heyday... maybe like a hat or something?

Awesome. I want this.

The Changeling, starring George C. Scott, 1979. One of the scariest movies ever made. To this day I can't look at an antique wheel chair without thinking of that movie.

I was exploring a junk yard in the 70s. It was just after all the stores had switched from these mechanical cash registers to the electronic kind. There several were small mountains of these machines waiting to be scrapped. I did take pictures but i have no idea what happened to them. Possible my parents may still have them.

They still used these types of duplicating machines when I was in grade school -- before xerox copiers were common. If the teacher made the copies just before class the papers would be cold and slightly damp. The ink was blue and sometimes a bit smudged -- a little blurry but still readable.
