Obtained at an estate sale on Long Island, this is a vintage, original & scarce paper doll cut-out book in used but VERY collectible condition! Details follow. (NOTE: I am a strict grader & many of my buyers report that their items are even better than described.)
Title: Roller Rhythm/High School Dolls on Skates (No. 4865)
Publisher: The Merrill Publishing Company, Chicago, Ill.
Copyright: 1944
Size: approx. 11" x 13"
Front cover: normal wear for age; rounded corners; two dolls punched out but present; 1/2" tear & a stain at mid left border; spine ok
Back cover: 2 dolls punched out but present; 2 dolls unpunched; again, rounded corners; several creases & tears, esp. at borders & cut-outs
Interior: Contents attached to covers, stapled but pulling away top & bottom; one page cut; 7 pg. uncut w/ outfits & colorful graphics; very little if any wear, except last page is wrinkled & has small paper hurts at top left; lingo of the day ("You're groovy as a movie!" "Okay, gate, it's a date!" etc.) - way cool!
Dolls: 6 present (as above); 4 loose dolls are sharp & complete; just one has a crease at her left elbow & a couple at her rt. ankle - overall, excellent!
Yep, it's used but totally keen and I hope you're diggin' it! Happy to answer questions & I GUARANTEE your satisfaction if you win this item (check my feedback). Please see my store offerings & other auctions, including more vintage paper doll books and other vintage stuff. Thanks for looking; time for me to cut out!
