This auction is for the very early Lenci # 300 Drummer Boy. He is 17 inches tall and dates from the 1930's. With his soulful, expressive little face, he is one of the most popular of the rare series of Lenci boy dolls.
Because he wa...s probably very well-loved and played with by the lucky boy who was the original owner, his original all-felt drummer outfit has been lovingly re-created and replaced with a beautiful reproduction, consisting of military-style jacket, jodhpurs, drum strap, tasseled cap, high-button spats and leather shoes.
Condition: This Drummer Boy has overall shelf dust and, except for his outfit, is all-original and unrestored. His sweet facial features are unretouched, but there are smudges and light staining. There is wear on his hands and fingers. His new outfit, however, is in pristine condition.
He is missing his drum and drumsticks, but when these props are replaced, this would be a chance to add a seldom found delightful Lenci boy to your collection.
Please check my other auctions this week for more early Lenci dolls.
Good luck and happy bidding!
