1986 Annalee Mouse Doll with Painted Face. Measures about 5.5" in height. Good condition. She looks like she should be holdinh something but she isn't.
This 1986 Annalee Colonial Martha Mouse captures a delightful sense of history and character, featuring a wide, open-mouthed grin and signature hand-painted details. She is dressed in traditional early American attire, sporting a rich brown felt skirt paired with a white cotton-like apron that crosses over her chest. A matching white ruffled mobcap sits atop her head, framing her large ears which are lined with a soft pink felt. Her long, gray felt tail is wired, allowing it to be looped or positioned to help her stand securely.
While she currently has empty paws, this specific 1980s design was originally intended to hold a small accessory, likely a tiny rolling pin or a piece of faux colonial handiwork. The open positioning of her hands makes her a perfect candidate for a bit of creative "re-accessorizing" in your own display. This figure is a wonderful example of the domestic-themed mice that were a staple of the New Hampshire-based company's production during the mid-eighties. For a charming kitchen or pantry vignette, style her on a shelf next to miniature spice jars or a small basket of dried herbs to emphasize her colonial housekeeper persona.
This item is vintage, approximately 40 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
