    UNIQUE AND RARE ADVERTISING PAPER DOLL!!  DUZ DETERGENT ANIMATED ROLLER SKATING PAPER DOLL 1940'S
    I am still working on liquidating my late sisters collections and many of you who have been following my listings and I wish to THANK YOU, ALL!  Since I am not a collector I do have to apologize for my lack of knowledge on this subject.  If I have grossly misstated anything in the description it is fine if you want to correct me.  I am now working on a 'new' bundle of paper dolls and other items that I just took into my possession, have fun exploring them right along with me!!
    Found among the boxes of Paper Dolls in this collection I found this CUTIE!!  How many ANIMATED PAPER DOLLS ARE THERE??  Anyone know that answer?  I certainly don't but expect this may be a RARE FIND IN THE PAPER DOLL WORLD.  This little girl has NO NAME but she is made of CARDBOARD.  In fact, it looks as if she may have been cut completely from a box of DUX DETERGENT.  That can be clearly seen by looking at the back of the doll.  It does appear that one of the brass fasteners may be missing as there is a hole at the top of one leg and a hole that could match it on the front of the dolls' coat.  Check out the coat too as she does have what appear to be military stripes on her sleeve.  According to advertising pieces Duz was using a Red and White box in the 1940's and in their ads they mention about helping in the war effort.  This is an ANIMATED PAPER DOLL and when her back hand is pulled up and down, the dolls' legs move too as if she is skating.  There is some foxing in the paper but not too bad.  The doll has a crease on her little finger of the opposite hand of the one that actually moves.  This paper doll is 10 inches tall but I don't know who the designer of this cutie was but for some reason she reminds me of a paper doll that I have seen at one time or another in this collection.  Perhaps someone else may recognize her.  I will be able to ship this doll in a flat protected envelope because of her size.   PLEASE BE SURE TO KEEP WATCHING AS I JUST ACQUIRED SOME MORE PAPER DOLLS FROM THIS COLLECTION!!
