Nautical Captains Hand - Painted Vintage Nesting Dolls Set
Item History & Price
This is a charming set of four hand-painted wooden nesting dolls, c. 1960s I believe. They feature great hand-painted faces and brass buttoned blue jackets, plus short white pant legs and black boots peeking out below those jackets, and pipes in the corners of the mouths of the largest two. I believe there were originally five dolls in this set and that it is the second largest that is missing. The largest measures 6 1/2" tall x 2 5/8" wide. Following, in sequence, they meas...ure: 3" tall, 2 1/4" tall and 3/4" tall. The smallest, which fits inside all of the others, is solid wood (does not open). The jacket of the largest is a lighter blue than the rest, but based on others I have found is, I believe, original to this set. They are in good overall condition, with what appears to be some peeling to their varish/coating--as documented in detailed photos.
