Original Listing Description

20" Composition & Cloth HOWDY DOODY doll. HTF Early composition version. This guy has his original clothes. Most I have seen of these have been so played with, but he is pretty nice. Clothes are in great shape. Felt hat, Bandana, plaid shirt, twill pants and Cowboy boots are still vibrant and without damages other than having a vintage look and feel. They are over 70 years old after all. His coloring is still vibrant and he has a face full of freckles. Eyes are clear and sleep well. He has some all over crazing (some light and a few heavier lines) & rubs. He looks to be all original without any touch up or repairs. His cloth body looks clean and the clothes might have never been removed. Not a ventriloquist doll. From Doll reference: 1948-1955 Effanbee Howdy Doody doll, 21-22" tall, Hey Kids what time is it?
