Creepy Ventriloquist Doll / Dummy - trying to ID

This just came into our shop yesterday. It is a vintage/antique Ventriloquist Doll/Dummy and I am trying to figure out who it is, and who the manufacturer is (and also approximate date). It has a cloth body with (bisque?) head, hands, and feet. About 26 inches in total length. The eyes differ from most of the others I am finding - this one lacks eye brows, plus has the dark shading above the eyes, giving a bit of a creepy look. Any info appreciated. Thank you! ... Dave

 

The head looks like it is might have been made of composition. That was a common thing from which dolls were made in the early to mid 20th century. They stopped using it in about 1950, I think.

 

Thank you Figtree3, that makes more sense. It doesn't feel as heavy as bisque and the surface seems more crumbly.

 

Wow! I'd be scared it would come to life at the stroke of midnight and chase me down the hallway!

 

Maybe Dapper Dan? https://www.google.com/search?q=dap...hVILyYKHdPuDl4Q_AUIBygC#imgrc=lCMPe64ccZpF3M:
The hairline doesn't look correct though.

 

Shades of Night Gallery Rayo56! Now that you mention it, I did have it locked in a cabinet over night, but found it sitting in my chair this morning with an evil grin on its face!

 

Maybe Charlie McCarthy?

 

Charlie McCarthy it is!

Not worth much in that condition however.

Ah!
Some of the photographic files in my brain are still functioning.
