Raleigh dolls are really works of art that were designed under the direction of Mrs. Raleigh by students of the Chicago Art Institute in sizes ranging from 11" - 18" as well as some larger dolls with cloth bodies (We have a great selection including many of these versions as shown in group photos.) This sweetheart is in generally very good condition with no finger or toe damage, no repairs with some areas of light paint wear, paint chips & crazing around the eye sockets, which are normal and do not detract (some paint touch up as shown). Other Raleigh dolls including his larger twin sisters, and very rare, sleep-eyes twin, all by Jessie McCutcheon Raleigh, (UFDC exhibited) shown and Steiff puppy dog are not included and will be listed separately.
