Pair Vintage Skookum Dolls 
"Vintage Skookum Dolls with 'Bully Good' Labels, Circa 1920s-1930s"
This pair of vintage Skookum dolls, dating from the 1920s to 1930s, exemplifies the craftsmanship of Mary McAboy's iconic creations. Each doll retains its original "Bully Good" label, a trademark phrase reflecting the Chinook Jargon term "Skookum," meaning strong or excellent.
The dolls are constructed with wooden bodies, adorned in traditional-style wool blankets, and feature hand-painted composition faces.

These authentic Skookum dolls are highly sought after by collectors of Native American-inspired memorabilia.
