VTG PAPER DOLLS 1987 AMANDA AMY c.1914 HANDMADE JONES SISTERS BARBARA BARNETT

Description

"Amanda and Amy c. 1914" is part of the "Off The Wall Series".  It's the imaginative and incredible art work of Barbara Barnett and Shirley Stokes, The Jones Sisters.  This entire set is hand made, hand painted and is one of a kind!!!   Usually a small envelope of accessories was included to add to each costume.  The sets that I have measure about 8.5" x 5.75.  The costumes are created from wallpaper and then original artwork is added to complete the costume.  Some of them are artwork alone.  Colors have bled though on the dolls which shows these are handmade.  This has the 2 dolls, mother and daughter from the early 1900's.  There are 16 look alike costumes for them.  The apron costume has a slit cut in it so the dolls can carry some of the accessories that have tabs on them.  Ink may have transferred on the inside of the wallpaper folder. I purchased this set last year from another collector.
I've bought my huge collection from estate sales and from other collectors on eBay.  I don't know the previous storage history.  My collection is stored in a smoke/pet free area in my home, with a dehumidifier running 24/7.  People did smoke back then, I have a poor sense of smell at my age, and I don't know if that lingers.  I try to list all flaws with the paper dolls that I sell.
I only ship to the USA.   I usually take orders to the post office on Tuesday and Friday mornings by 10 AM eastern time.
