Item Description
Goofy is the largest doll in this group by Charlotte, although Bugs Bunny (following) comes close. He stands approximately 30” tall and his head from the tip of his nose to the back is a full 8.5” deep. Due to the thinness of his neck, the large head is not supported and it falls forward. There is a stiff wire on the interior of the doll but for some reason it stops at the base of the neck and does not extend upward into the head. This could be easily remedied and then the head would stay upright. The only other significant damage is to the left shirt sleeve fabric where it meets his shoulder, there is a split in the material almost 360° around but still with about .5”of material unsplit along the outer fabric seam. Again, an easy repair. The sleeve itself is accented by a sewn-on rwb fabric patch as designed. There is also some browning of this shirt material mostly on the sleeves. His pants are quality material with a houndstooth-type pattern. He has large feet a full 7” long. Unfortunately his eyes which were probably black oilcloth are both missing but again this is an easy repair. His head is wonderfully accented by an orange hat which stands 4” tall and a pair of large white felt buck teeth suspended from his upper jaw line. We suspect, like the previous Jose Carioca, this doll may have been made just for Charlotte’s personal enjoyment, we know of no other examples and its size and the work involved would have made it somewhat impractical to merchandise on any sort of larger scale. Comes with notarized statement and Hake’s COA. See item #2200 for details. Unique, hand-crafted and overall VG.
