The following listing is for a very neat vintage Carlson doll dressed in an American Revolution Uniform. This is very nicely and realistically done, with real leather hat, suede coat, leather clothing and leather boots. The original tag state that this is an American Soldier, number 8100. The face features beautiful blue eyes, which open and close, and actually looks more like a woman than a man, but I understand that this is common with these dolls. Although this looks even more antique than the date suggests, I've learned that Carlson Dolls was initially a cottage business of a Maple Lake, Minnesota Indian tribe. Beginning in the 1950s, they produced a variety of dolls dressed in costumes to represent various Indian cultural groups. However, I discovered that they produced non-Indian dolls as well, often dressed in period costumes of the Revolutionary War, but encompassing Frontier figures, Civil War figures, and even military personnel from various branches of the service and the military academy cadets as well. The doll is in very good condition, with wear appropriate to the age. One button is somewhat rubbed, one shoe has a corner missing although it doesn't go all the way through. If this had a stand, which apparently at least some of them do, it is no longer with it. The doll measures approximately 8" tall.
