Item Description
Lot of six handmade pre-Disney Winnie the Pooh dolls, standing between 10-7/8" and 12" tall (and 12.5" to 14" long). Starting in 1944, Agnes Brush handmade many of the beloved characters from A.A. Milne's books as dolls, each constructed from cotton flannel or muslin, using hand-stitched facial features, painted embellishments, wooden/glass bead eyes and cotton batting for stuffing. A total of nine Pooh characters were made - Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Owl and a Heffalump. Offered here are Pooh, Rabbit, Piglet, Owl, Eeyore and Tigger. Each was handmade, allowing for natural variations in size and materials. Brush stayed true to the look of the original E.H. Shepard renditions of the characters. Missing Kanga, Roo and Heffalump. All but Eeyore come w/original string tag bearing handwritten character name. Tags show some lt. scattered handling wear w/Tigger tag evenly aged. Most are VF. Pooh was produced w/either red (or rarer blue) cotton shirt, both of which were incredibly susceptible to moth holes and it is very hard to find a doll w/shirt. Red shirt is present on this example and has only a few small holes on one arm and back. Shirt is Fine while doll itself is Exc. Piglet is complete w/original pink stitched kerchief around his neck. Dolls have some lt. aging, w/Eeyore having a few tiny holes. Fine/VF to Exc. Rare to find w/tags and in this choice condition. These well designed, high quality dolls are a must have for Winnie the Pooh collectors.
