Description
9" (23 cm.) and 10". Each is all hard-composition doll with swivel head, jointed arms, one-piece body, legs posed as though walking, sculpted hair in classic style, she with topknot and short bobbed curls, he with side-parted bobbed hair, each with glass googly eyes glancing at each other, chubby dimpled cheeks, and sculpted painted costume. Condition: generally excellent. Comments: from original designs by Grace Drayton, the dolls were made in Japan and marketed by Ideal, circa 1916; an identical set had an original paper label marked Ideal with Japanese lettering. Value Points: extremely rare set of googlies in wonderfully preserved condition.
