Vintage Dolls from Around the World in an Alligator Style Suitcase
This lot comprises a collection of vintage dolls housed in a brown alligator style suitcase with a purple lined interior and metal corner fittings. The dolls are dressed in national costume and include examples labelled for Spain, Wales, China, Holland, Scotland and Jersey, alongside a Mexican style figure wearing a large sombrero, a Japanese style kimono doll and a doll in an Alpine style costume with a green hat. Several figures are presented in clear display boxes or cellophane sleeves, while others are loose. The dolls appear to be of mixed materials, including painted composition heads and fabric bodies, and no maker is identified in the lot description.
Mixed Condition with Appeal for Souvenir Doll Collectors
The contents are offered as seen and the condition of each doll varies, with some pieces appearing to show signs of age. Original packaging, boxes and paper wrappings are present with a number of the dolls, adding to the period character of the lot. Completeness is not guaranteed, and prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the lot carefully before bidding. The collection will appeal to collectors of vintage travel souvenirs, national costume dolls and mid-century display pieces, and offers the opportunity to acquire a varied group of dolls in one purchase.
