They are made of felt with a wire armature. There is a tiny bandana in the boatman's pocket; the fingers on the hands are defined. The faces are embroidered.
As you can see, they are pretty dirty. If you have any ideas on how to clean them, I'd love to hear them. Not sure if the felt is wool or synthetic. J. doesn't know.
No ideas but they sure a whimsical! Glad you rescued them and will take good care of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat dolls! I don't know except for spot cleaning, maybe dusting lightly with a small brush?
