    Description

    Vaudeville & the Silent Movies
    Here is one of the most unusual "personality, celebrity, silent movie star" doll heads that you will find. This, 5" tall,
    circa 1920
    , composition,
    portrait
    doll head of
    "Stan Laurel"
    (or Buster Keaton or other vaudeville comic) will make an excellent addition to any antique and vintage doll collection as he is all original and has the most realistic, deeply molded and painted composition features with his molded mustache, matching molded, curly brown hair, eyebrows, blue eyes with hi-lites, smirking mouth with molded cheek wrinkles and
    excellent coloring
    . He wears his original, clothing: black, baggy jacket with collar and red fabric tie and molded black derby hat with grey hatband. He probably should have a straw-filled body similar to our "Charlie Chaplin" doll and is in very good overall condition with slight damages to the paint around the brim of his hat no other repairs, no fading or holes, no odors and is from a smoke free home. He has some light paint wear and a few paint chips to this nose. See last photos for additional
    Charlie Chaplin & Oliver Hardy
    dolls for comparison that we will be listing. Other items are
    not included.
