Item Description
21” tall stuffed cloth doll with yarn hair. Believed to have been an FAO Schwartz exclusive. Produced in 1962 by Aboriginals Ltd. Inspired by the artwork of Charles Addams, dolls were sold 2 years before premiere of ABC-TV show “The Addams Family.” Starched cloth face with felt eyes. Face has scattered lt. areas of staining on chin, most likely from glue used to secure yarn hair. VF. Comes with original 4x5” Aboriginals tag that has Charles Addams’ facsimile signature and opens to reveal green Addams art showing the Addams Family about to dine on a 2-headed roast pig. Back of card has text that reads “This Is Wednesday, The Charles Addams Doll. One Look At Her Face, And You May Recall That Rhyme That Began ‘Monday’s Child Is Fair Of Face, Tuesday’s Child Is Full Of Grace, Wednesday’s Child Is Full Of Woe..’ She Is Romantically Pale Because She Was Brought Up In The Cellar Of A Creaky Old Addams Mansion. Imagine Her Childhood – The Black Magic Lessons…The Sunday Suppers Of Two-Headed Roast Pig…The Pet Octopus. Nice People Adore Wednesday. Nasty People Think She’s A Gleefully, Evilly, Shivery Little Companion For All Their Wicked Schemes. Since It’s Evident That Wednesday Might Fall Into The Wrong Hands, Do Not Hesitate An Instant. Take Her And Live Woefully Ever After With Wednesday The Charles Adams Doll.” Card has some handling wear with creasing. Fine. Only the third example of this doll we’ve offered and the first complete with this great tag. Rare.
