Knickerbocker Seven Dwarfs Cloth Dolls

In addition to the 1938 composition Snow White dolls (seen in previous post), Knickerbocker also released a series of Seven Dwarfs cloth dolls. They have pressed oilcloth mask faces. Painted facial features with mohair beards. The clothing, which is stuffed velveteen, makes up the body structure. Colors vary. A few sizes have been found: approximately 12"-14" and 16"-17" (to top of hats).
