(Unknown, 1940s) An extremely rare French composition "walker" doll. The 17.75" tall doll has a composition body, separate composition head and legs, painted wooden arms, and composition hands. His outfit consists of a painted cardboard vest, collar and hat while his arms have cotton sleeves. The original satin bow is frayed. His face has a painted mouth and applied original printed paper eyes. Made in France in the early 1940s, the doll's legs are attached inside the body to a free moving mechanism to enable it to "walk." In good condition, the doll shows wear throughout, some chipping, including the tip of the nose, and fading to the paint.
