BOSTON SUNDAY POST NEWSPAPER PAPER DOLLSI have been working on liquidating my late sisters collections and many of you who have luckily been following my listings. For those collectors looking for one my of sister's favorite creator of paper dolls here are 3 of LUCY ELEANOR LEARY paper dolls. There are 3 in this auction but only the 2 girls are ORIGINAL and they both date to 1956. The boy in this grouping is a reproduction and possibly she had not found an origi...nal yet. These paper dolls were printed in the Boston Sunday Post newspaper with the first on is MATILDA. Matilda appeared on March 11, 1956 and is modeling some early Spring Fashions of Fifty Years ago. That means the clothing for this doll were actually fashionable in 1906. All her dresses are floor length as well as her Overcoat too. This sheet measures 13 1/4 by 6 1/4 inches and on each corner are evidence of scotch tape. Luckily though the paper doll nor her clothes have been cut. The next doll is JANE and Jane appeared in the Boston Sunday Post on September 16, 1956. Jane is modeling her BACK TO SCHOOL collection of clothes as she just can't wait to get back to school as she will now be in Third Grade. Jane even gets a new Bathrobe too for the school year as well as 3 fashionable dresses, a Suit for Fall and a Sleeveless Dress and Coat for those warm September days. This piece is 13 3/4 by 7 inches in size. The last paper doll in this grouping is ANTHONY. Anthony is a reproduction and this one is not marked with a full date in which he appeared in the newspaper, only 8/15. I do see though that there has been patch work on this piece as part of the title and the picture of him on the beach and playing croquet has been pasted onto the copy. Anthony is only 4 years old and is the busiest boy in town.
