Included in this lot is an original Plains Indian Skookum, trade blanket wrapped doll, circa 1950's. The Skookum doll was developed by Mary Dwyer McAboy (1876-1961) who was from Missoula, Montana. She began by carving apple head dolls; production evolved over the years from composition to plastic. The doll shows original construction, with the framework for the doll constructed by wood with straw stuffing and a ceramic face. The Native American woman shows cloth constructed clothing and a wool trade blanket wrapped around her. The condition of this doll is good; it shows wear consistent with age. There are a few small paint chips on her face. The measurements of this Skookum doll are 4" x 2 1/2" x 13 1/2".
