VERY RARE pair 16" antique Mme. Alexander "Susie Q" & "Bobby Q" 1938 cloth dolls

Description: For your Collecting pleasure, ORIGINAL (copyright applies) "FABULOUS, matched pair of large, 16" tall, "Susie Q" and "Bobby Q", labeled, stuffed cloth character dolls by Madame Alexander from the 1938 comic strip. Susie still has her complete sewn-in label on her clothing: "Susie Q"/Madame Alexander, New York. They each have huge, painted blue, side-glancing (googly shaped) eyes glancing to each other and matching red, white and blue felt and cotton outfits complete with matching felt shoes with spats. These sweet faced, early cloth dolls each have their original yarn hair, (Susie has black hair with scalloped bangs and long braids and Bobby has curly brown hair). They each have comical expressions, molded pug noses, long eyelashes and rosy cheeks. They also have molded flat feet to stand and mitt-shaped hands with separate thumbs. Susie has red striped legs and Bobby has blue striped legs. She wears her red and white polka dot printed dress with attached white petticoat and panties and pleated organdy collar beneath her fitted blue felt jacket and Bobby wears similar blue felt jacket over his red and white polka dot shorts with attached white cotton shirt, undies and red and white tie. Both wear their white felt spats with three button closures over their black felt shoes. They are in very good condition with no stains, very minimal fading to Susie's dress and no odors as they are from a smoke free home." For reference: 16th Blue Book of Doll Values-Jan Foulke lists their value at $3000 on page 207.
