Item Description
14.5" tall. Designed by Clarence DeWitt and made by William D. "Bill" Rainwater in 1936. This is only the second example of this figure we've seen. It features Mae in a low-cut white dress with puffy frills at bottom of dress and at shoulders. These ruffles have remnants of dark sparkle accents. Figure has some scattered paint wear including two .25x.75" paint flakes at neckline. Tiny chip to left ear and miniscule paint flake to tip of nose. Figure still retains nice painted facial accents. VF. One of the nicest designed carnival statues we've seen.
