What’s the story?
Aren’t these an absolute delight? Umistakably Charlie Chaplin locked in a cheek to cheek dance with Auntie. Produced in the 1920s at the peak of Chaplin’s career, they were the Mattel doll merch of the day! Produced by Dean’s, they are rag dolls, made entirely of fabric and the detail is just super… from their expressions to the buttons on Charlie’s waistcoat to Auntie’s bloomers underneath. They have been loved so they are a little worn and faded but unsurprising given they are cloth-made and their age. They are locked / sewn together in their dance, perhaps a Charleston. They are precious things that are rarely available.
