RUSSIAN STOCKINETTE - ‘TANIKA & VANIKA’1930 Soviet Union Handmade . These are a (LOT
OF
2
) .
PRICE IS FOR BOTH DOLLS! These dolls have been in my home for quite some time and are quite collectible.These 2 are a COUPL
E and will sell as a COUPLE,
whom are believed to be courting and their names are “Tanika” , and “Vanika” , (Marked SOVIET UNION 8203) They are Handmade Stockinette Dolls From the late 1920’s to the early 1930’s.  They represent the USSR: “The Union of the Soviet Socialist Republic “.
As I stated they are highly collectible and are rare to happen upon, however, I no longer have room and they need a new home.  They are in their original clothes, have never been cleaned ( as they are quite delicate and require a expert in dolls/stockinette's to do so).  Shoes are in good shape for the most part, exception in the (
reed ) in the
toe are
has minor
loosening, but not bad at all ( see photos ).  They have a very light smell of a doll that is approximately 90 years old and is handmade of wire and papermache, wool, silk, cloth, cotton,and reed ( shoes).Overall though, in my opinion, they are in good condition, a bit dirty, ( stored in a paper tissue inside a bag in my loft), non smoker home
, again stored in our loft of our garage , no pets/ no cigarettes!
There are no moth holes, tears or rips... a big plus.  Just bear in mind these are going on the better part of a Century old.Vanika has a face that is as cute and handsome any young man could have, who has come courting, and Tanika
( closed eyes)
appears as if she thinks so as well.Feel free to ask for more photos and also do your research on these dolls, as you will find they are a rarity and a collect ability item.  I am offering them at a reasonable price , as they are not being appreciated as much as they should be.Thank you for looking.  This is an AS IS SALE.
As I said see all photos , as they ARE a HUGE part of my description.  Antique is just that ...Antique.  These are in good shape for
being the
better part of a century
old.
