Billy and the booze bottle dancing toy?

[Mormon S]

I have been looking through pictures of boxes from the phonograph dancing toys. I noticed on the left of this box one of them is "Billy And The Booze Bottle". Does anybody own or have a picture of this? Are there Any known to currently exist?

Thanks

Never heard of it and would like to see one, too!

Here's a auction photo of two other less-common types...
Pancho Villa and Shimandy.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the one on the left isn't Shimandy, but a similar one of a larger woman. Here is a picture of a similar one, and the skinnier one is shimandy.

I just passed that off as a variation, but studying the images a bit longer, I see the platform and weight are also slightly different, too.

(Thanks, George. The thinner lady does look brand new)

The smaller lady is a reproduction.

Ah, thanks. It is still accurate in appearance to the original shamidy though, right?

Do we know that the larger woman (original) isn't Shimandy?

I've been mistaken. Shimandy was advertised in many variations, including both of the larger ones. I cant find one that looks anything like the reproduction, but I did find these 2 examples of shimandy (which both seem to be "plump")
