    Description

    I did see similar dolls listed but no one seems to have an idea where they are from!
    They are interesting though.  If I were to guess I would say they were made for the tourist trade in the 30's or 40's, perhaps Brazil, maybe Cuba. Grandpa is holding a Spanish language newspaper. Grandpa is smoking and has flocked hair and a moustache. Grandma has a great braided bun for hair. Both pairs of hands are in great shape.  They have a poured wax shoulder plate head, hand painted features and wax forearms and legs from the knee down.
    His clothing and her apron are somewhat discolored from age. The newspaper has a tear at the bottom.  The last photo shows a flat spot at the top of grandpa's head.
    13.5" tall in this sitting position.
