I believe this is the first Roy Rogers doll made by Ideal Toy Company in 1949. Can anyone confirm that this is the correct identification?
It is about 25" tall. Has a vinyl face and vinyl vest and vinyl holster and belt. The rest is fabric. Woolly pants/chaps. Hat appears to be felt.
Anybody confirm the maker and date?
Thanks

1949 Roy Rogers .He does not look like one described in Ideal's book . I am trying to find a photo of Ideal Roy . He is described as 25 " stuffed body but says painted hair ,Vinyl hands not cloth like yours . He has the correct stuffed formed body meaning the legs being made from pants . His Hat looks like Ideal . I will search more tomorrow . So He is half correct to Ideal's description but 50% not . Odd they have no photo in Ideal book just describing him . Your doll is wonderful and oh does he have Ideal marked on him back of neck or a sewn tag ?
He is also wearing correct ideal pin My Pal Roy . Just 2 difference's and that is hair is not painted but a wig . Is it glued to his head or is hair inserted into vinyl and he has cloth hands or they appear that way to me are they ? I am inclined to say he is 1949 but with a variation or book made an error in describing .
Mankin, thanks. I won't be home for a couple days so I will look again for a mark, I didn't see one originally. The hair is more like a really fussy cloth I,ll have to see how it is attached. Yes the hands are cloth.
Appreciate your info. What book are you referencing?
Thanks
This is book I am looking at . I have others I just need to locate himm in one . My guess is that at time of publishing there was no photo they could find from a collector to put in book .

Still trying to confirm who made this doll anyone else know? Also wondering what the value might be?
Thanks for any Info.
You never replied to me asking you to look at neck and back for markings. They could be under hair a little so look close . I have the Ideal Doll book .
He is Ideal Co "My Pal Roy Rogers doll from 1950's " It says on his original botton made by Ideal . Your photo did not show close up of it . I hope you can mark this solved now .
Here is one that sold .
