A Collection of Vintage and Modern International Costume and Souvenir Dolls
Description
A collection of approximately twenty-five international and souvenir dolls and figurines of various types and constructions. The assortment includes two Happy Dolls in their original blue window boxes, one featuring a label numbered 7777. The dolls are constructed from a mix of materials including vinyl, hard plastic, composition, and cloth-covered armatures. Notable figures include a lady in a tiered green Victorian-style dress with a feathered fan, a figure dressed as a milkmaid in a blue and white checked dress with a white apron and bonnet, and a gentleman in a green coat with a black top hat. Two specific figures, a man in a navy blue sweater and a smaller sailor figure, are marked with the printed text TRADING T.W. The collection also features a doll in a pink and blue knitted sweater and hat, a figure in a red and white knitted dress, and a sailor in a blue vest with a white ship motif. Hair types vary from molded plastic to synthetic and mohair wigs, with eyes being primarily painted or fixed. The clothing represents a variety of national costumes, historical periods, and trades, including some pieces with hand-crafted elements.
