Description

Pair of Vintage Skookum Dolls 

This pair of vintage Skookum dolls, dating to circa 1940 (label affixed), showcases the intricate craftsmanship and charm of these collectible pieces. Constructed with wool, wood, fabric, beads, plastic, and synthetic hair, both dolls feature papooses, adding a unique and endearing touch to their design.

The taller doll measures 14 inches, while the smaller doll stands at 12.25 inches, making this pair a striking representation of mid-20th-century artistry. Skookum dolls remain highly sought after for their historical significance, a trademark phrase reflecting the Chinook Jargon term "Skookum," meaning strong or excellent.
