"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. The mother doll, measuring approximately 11 inches in height, is dressed in a vibrant wool blanket and carries a baby on her back, while the child doll, standing about 6.25 inches tall, is similarly attired and complemented by bead accessories. These authentic Skookum dolls are highly sought after by collectors of Native American-inspired memorabilia.
Condition:
Good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. The dolls exhibit minor scuffs and light fabric fading, consistent with their age. The original "Bully Good" labels are intact and legible, enhancing their authenticity and collectible value.
