Sought-after Vintage Rootie Kazutie Doll

This is a vintage greatly sought-after collectible Rootie Kazutie Doll First produced in the 1950s by the Effanbee Doll Company Known as the Effanbee Rootie Kazutie Baseball Doll, Rootie Kazootie was the principal character on the 1950s children's television show The Rootie Kazootie Club. The doll has become a prized collectible due to its provenance and the culture that contributed to its popularity. See below for more information* The doll has been sitting in storage, resulting in part of its arms having dried out and fallen off. The clothes as well are quite dirty from the dust in the box it was kept. The dolls head moves when the legs are moved. The doll sits, but I have not been able to extend the legs for it to stand. The doll also spoke, as indicated by “speaker perforations on the chest) Due to its condition it is being sold at a deep discount. The arms, perhaps, can be restored and the clothes cleaned (and a true expert might perhaps get him to speak yet again) Still, the head alone, which is in fine condition (though a couple of freckles on his right cheek have faded a bit) is a significant sought-after collectible in its own right. * Wikipedia: Rootie Kazootie was the principal character on the 1950s children's television show, The Rootie Kazootie Club.
