Scootles Dolls

Vintage from 1930’s

12″ Scootles Dolls – These dolls have been completely restored and are ready to go to their new homes.  This sweet doll has painted eyes and airbrushed blonde hair. Expertly repainted by RubieMae.

When restoring a composition doll, I remove all the old cracked lead based paint, then I fill and sand multiple times to get a satin smooth finish. Then I prime and sand 2-3X more before airbrushing the final two coats of skin tone. An oil based paint is used to get the same look as was original to the doll. Then hair and blush are airbrushed before hand painting the lashes, brows, and lips. Eyes are restored and iris replaced if needed.
 
I do not offer a refund or exchange. Please study the detailed pictures as they are an important part of the description.

Rose O’Neill created the Kewpies and Joseph Kallus sculptured them into figurines and dolls. He used the same body for the 12″ Scootles, Kewpie, and Giggles dolls. Joseph Kallus sculptured many of the dolls produced in the 30’s. http://dollreference.com/cameo_dolls.html
