Birch, McDonald. McDonald Birch’s Man or Machine Illusion Head. Circa 1950. Composition head of a “robot” with a hinged door in its forehead to reveal the ersatz mechanism that supposedly controls the figure’s mouth and blinks its eyes. Electrical components not tested; mouth operates similarly to a ventriloquist’s figure. Height 15 ½”. In the original carrying case. Well-worn but operational. With a photograph of Birch holding the head.
