Pair of Bathing Beauties with Mustaches and Cigars, Antique Tintype Russian stockinette doll with two little white woolI find it hard to resist bathing beauties of all varieties, and these two certainly make quite a pair! A bit of a Mutt and Jeff sort of combo, both with quite the mustaches and cigars hanging out of their mouths. With a lighthouse in the distance on the painted backdrop. A fun one. 5 1 8" x 3 1 4". Surface loss to upper right corner and a diagonal line of surface loss coming in from right lower edge all as documented.
