(Charlotte Clark, 1940s) Known for creating the first Mickey Mouse Doll, Charlotte Clark experimented with creating cartoon superstars from other studios as well. This Woody Woodpecker doll is a wonderful example of that. Measuring 15" tall, the doll came from Clark's personal collection and was given to relatives in the late '40s. The doll is made from textured material with oilcloth eyes and hand-stitched accents, mouth and eyebrows. The doll shows some wear and the stuffing in the neck has softened so that the head tends to flop over. Overall, the doll presents beautifully and is the only example we have ever seen.
