Old Leather Aviator Doll

Regular price $28.00

One occasionally sees old leather dolls of a similar manner to this one that were  "postcard dolls"--I am not completely sure whether they were sold and mailed already stuffed or if they were stuffed later, but in either case they were usually souvenirs from somewhere. I'm not sure if this pilot was actually a postcard, and can find not other like it, but it seems rather likely that he was a souvenir, perhaps meant to represent Charles Lindbergh, dating to the 1920s-30s.

Dimensions: 9 1/4”t x 3 3/8”w x 7/8”d.   He is missing  a few stitches under one arm, as pictured, which looks like it would be a pretty easy repair if desired. Otherwise, good overall condition with some more wear to the leather on the back side.
