This is a lot of two Jean Darling items. Jean was a child star with Our Gang in the late 1920's and early 1930's. She is featured in the full color book "The Story of Our Gang". She also had a small bisque doll made in her "likeness" as part of a sewing kit. The doll and sewing items come in the original box depicting a small cottage.
The book is from 1929 and has a full color picture of each of the Gang members at the time with a mini bio. It is not in the best of shape as far as the spine and cover. See photos.
The little doll is about 3" tall and is made in Japan. She comes with all that is shown in her original sewing kit.
She has a little painted on sunsuit to wear under her clothes. This doll has what looks like a crack on the back and a separate one on lower side. IT is hard to tell if these happened at the saving factory and were just slapped over with paint, or if they happened after, but they are hairlines and not pieces that broke off and were reglued.
A great lot of early film memorabilia!
