- Doll 2 (Gray Outfit): Wearing a gray dress with a classic striped skirt design.
Perfect as a restoration project, for parts, or as a unique addition to an established vintage novelty toy or folk art collection.Condition Report & Flaw BreakdownThis pair is being sold As-Is for parts, repair, or display due to the following vintage wear:
- Missing Parts: The gray-dressed figurine is missing both of its original arms. The small side attachment holes are visible where they used to be secured.
- Paint Finish: The gray doll also features two notable spots of paint chipping/paint loss on its back. Both dolls show minor surface scuffs, small paint flecks, and light shelf scuffing along their flat bottom bases.
- Mechanics: The internal metal neck springs on both pieces are fully intact and functional. Both heads bobble freely, though they sit at slight, natural vintage angles. The yarn hair remains securely attached to both figurines.
