FREE SHIPPING is only offered for sales within the United States
This auction is for an early Lenci model #300 from the 1920's.
He is 17 inches tall and is one of the hard-to-find series of Lenci Sports Figures. He is called "The Rower." See poster for the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics crea...ted by Stephanie Farago using some of the Lenci Sports Figures from her personal collection.
This serious little character has all the characteristics of the early Lenci dolls: zigzag stitching at the back of the neck, felt arms and legs, applied double felt ears, side-glancing brown eyes, two-tone lips with two lighter dot highlights on the lower lip, a swivel head, movable limbs and the third and fourth fingers of his hands are joined. His short strawberry blonde mohair bob is thick and full.
He is dressed in an all-felt outfit consisting of a black-and-white striped sleeveless tunic, black felt shorts, a matching "helmet" style brimmed cap with a pinwheel pattern of black-and-white felt, and black felt slippers.
Condition: His expressive facial features are beautifully painted, all original and unretouched.
He is in excellent condition for a cloth doll over 90 years old, with only light overall shelf dust.
There are two tiny moth nibbles on his face, one by the outside corner of his right eye and one on his right cheek.
He is missing his wooden oar prop which could easily be replaced by a vintage toy oar or reproduced.
Here is your chance to add an unbelievably rare character Lenci boy to your collection. Don't let him get away!

Good luck and happy bidding!
