I purchased these dolls to add to my hazel atlas candy stripe display cabinet. I would love to know more about them, especially the one in red. The hat and chest areas are plastic or vinyl (not sure which) the bottom half is cloth.
cute and and very nice!!! fun!!!
Thank you dear sweet friend xo Big big hugs Sean
Those are pretty cool Aim..kind of reminds me of old fashioned popcorn boxes. The little "Kewpie" dolls are cute . My sister had one of the Pixie ones similar to the one in the back ground but I don't know the proper term or company. :)
Thank you mikelv85 :) they remind me of the same thing. Too funny.
Hi Aim long time no see :-) The doll with cloth bottom is called a mask face doll . Face is a mask applied to the front of cloth head . Made of Celluloid (which was banned due to fire hazard ) . These were popular very late 40's and more into the 50's . Several companies produced them . The Kewpie's should be marked on their neck or back but are newer than cloth doll ,The tallest one I believe is a licensed version the smaller a look a like .
Similar mask face

Wow! Thank you Mani xo a lot of great info there. If thats the going rate for the mask face than I did really well. The mark on the Kewpie is in the eBay link looks like a birthmark. LoL too cute.
Your welcome and so glad to see you back !!!! The mask face wont sell for that price they have it a bit high but great finds !! xo
That's ok, I wanted it for looks anyway :)
These kewpie dolls really tie in with the candy stripes giving them life !
Cool yet adorable dolls. I like that display.
They look cute in your display :-)
I love your stripey collection. The clown cups are so cute but they are all wonderful.
Looks great!
i love your dollies too. I have an old Kewpie (no mark). For some reason they seem to be worth more here than I would expect!
Thanks so much Mani, Phil, Fort and Racer xoxo
