Laffing Sal is one of several automated characters that were built primary for fun house throughout the United States. She was built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC) of Germantown, Pennsylvania in the early 1930s. She was made of papier mache (seven layers of pressed ground wood pulp card stock with interior horse hair) over steel coils and frame, detachable head, arms, hands and legs. All parts are held together with fabric, staples, pins, nails, nuts and bolts. She had a wig of non-human hair and a large gap between her front teeth. She was advertised as being 6' 10" in height, standing on a 12 inch pedestal.
