Here we have a delightful WWII soldier boy made by the beloved British doll maker Norah Wellings (1893-1975.) This brave young man features a felt face with nicely molded and painted character features including full cheeks, side-glancing eyes framed in full lashes, finely arched brows and a delightful smile with vividly painted lips (scattered finish loss along left top lip and below lip on right side.) His head of delicately shaded ginger hair is topped with a jaunty military cap. His uniform of soft brown velvet is incorporated into his firmly stuffed plush velvet body and features stitched mitt style hands and delightful feet of black velvet. Details of his military uniform include faux pockets, brass style buttons, a belt and a crossbody cotton bag.
A tag sewn to the bottom of his right foot reads "Made in England by Norah Wellings.”

Measures: 14 1/2” tall
