Description
I believe this to be the very first production run of this doll as it does not have the System Inc text written below the Columbia Broadcast on this dolls head as all others I have seen do. This piece, while manufactured by a Sun Rubber has significant "crazing", and has slightly changed shape over the last 71 years, most of which in storage, and it is not particularly pliable. Though the head and arms will move slightly, but I am reluctant to apply to much force to test it's dexterity.The following information has been borrowed from a similar past listing that sold for around 450 within the last 90 days. It did have the additional script mentioned above that is not present on this piece, though I admit that doll was in better condition and had clothing.
"1949 Amosandra doll, 9 1/2-10" tall, all soft rubber, jointed body, molded painted hair, painted or glassine eyes, open mouth, drink wet doll.
"The lovable baby from the CBS (radio) program Amos and Andy, No. 10026, Amosandra is a trademark of Columbia Broadcasting Syndication, the doll is an Amos n' Andy article conceived by T. W.
