Item Description
19" tall high quality doll is almost entirely made of felt w/stuffed body, hard plastic eyes and wire inserts in arms/legs for posing. Lars produced Disney dolls from the 1950s into the 1970s. This is one of the earliest examples from the 1950s. The earlier versions are mostly felt, later examples incorporated other materials. While these were licensed by Disney, they were not sold in the US, resulting in their rarity. These Lars dolls are among the nicest Disney dolls ever produced. Doll has lt. even aging but is o/w clean w/exception of pant cuffs and shoes, which show moderate spots of faint staining w/1/8" spot of missing felt on Horace's left shoe. These do not greatly detract from doll's overall appearance. Fine/VF. Rare and among the nicest figural pieces produced for Horace Horsecollar.
