【Product Description】

In the 1950s, Lee created original advertising dolls called "Buddy Lee" for dealers.
This is not a reproduction, but an original item that was actually used as an in-store display at the time.

On the back of the overalls, there is a tag that reads
"UNION MADE / Lee / SANFORIZED / REG. U.S. PAT. OFF."
The bib and cap also feature Lee woven labels, and the stitching and needlework are the same as workwear from that era.
It's clear that the doll was made to be a scaled-down version of actual Lee products from the time.

The material is a composition body, characteristic of the 1950s.
While there are cracks in the head's paint due to age, the clothing remains in good original condition, and with the bandana, cap, and overalls all present, it's a highly collectible item.

This piece is highly regarded in both the history of workwear and American advertising.
It's a valuable historical artifact that encapsulates the atmosphere of 1950s Lee.

*There are scuffs and some cracks on the head. Also, the arm may be broken.

Please understand that this is a vintage item and examine the images before purchasing.
