Item Description
Each doll stands 13" tall to the top of the head and back of each has a thin white cloth tag w/their respective names and a couple of numerals. While the dolls have a few small condition problems, they are very nicely done and feature jointed and movable arms and legs. Each is also complete w/1/8" thick black rubber tail. Their eyes are raised plastic ovals w/pupil area in black. The fabric for the outfits and bodies are primarily velveteen for the bodies and heavy felt for the outfits and hands. Mickey has couple of small brown marks around his stitched fabric mouth line. There is also a 3/8" narrow line of felt missing at the base of one finger. On the reverse of his left arm at the shoulder the velveteen has a 1x.5" hairline tear but restitching would not be difficult. Attached to Minnie's felt hat is a felt flower w/blue petals and a yellow center on a green stem. There are a couple small 1/8" insect holes but widely scattered and hardly showing other than a single hole on the top front of her left shoe. Other tiny holes are largely on the reverse or hidden along edges. Her stiff red felt skirt stands out and has a wavy edge. She is complete w/white panties which include a 1.25" square w/margin stitching as if this is a patch on the rear of her pants and through which her tail protrudes. Beautifully crafted. Dolls still display VF. Rare.
