I have a 17" carnival doll that looks like Buddy Lee...he is so adorable!
Love "the boys"! The Whistler is probably the most interesting in person.
He is cute. Is he marked? I have never seen him. I restored my carnival doll. It was fun to do and I loved her fat tummy. She was broken to the point of not being very attractive and I hated to see he put in a land fill so she is completely restored bringing probably little value to her at all, except to me. LOL
very cool kats
