Sleeping Dolls by Queen Holden - I Have Eyes That Will Close ... and Open

N.pl: Whitman Publishing Co, 1940. Very good. Light dust soiling. A little damage to plastic envelope where eyes kept.. A charming paper doll book with a moveable component: moveable eyes. The directions read: "Punch out Winkie's eyes. Take a pair of eyes from the envelope and fold on the dotted line and paste together. Holding the pair of eyes with the closed lids towards you, lashes down, pinch the portion back of the eyes slightly so the eyes will slip easily through the eye sockets. Eyes will then be held firmly in the sockets but can be made to open and close by moving the paper behind the head up and down". This example is complete and unused with (truncated) both dolls ("Winkie" on front cover and "Blinkie" on back) and four sets of eyes on 2.75" by 10.75" piece of paper. The book itself measures approx. 14.75" by 9.75" and has six leaves of outfits and accessories, printed on one side of leaf only, all uncut. (Inventory #: 270008602)
