<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 225057, member: 45&quot;]The doll itself is definitely a Skookum.&nbsp; As far as I know, none of the knockoff companies ever made this particular style of large papoose.&nbsp; It&#039;s relatively uncommon among Skookums, I think I have only had three for sale over the years.&nbsp; The size, face mask, and little ruffled shirt are all correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, it looks like it has had some &quot;work&quot; done on it.&nbsp; The eyes, obviously, look like someone started to repaint them, but didn&#039;t get as far as the pupils.&nbsp; And the coloration of the cheeks and mouth is just about gone.&nbsp; Maybe someone scrubbed a little too vigorously sometime.</p><p><br /></p><p>The blanket covering may also be a replacement.&nbsp; Every one I have ever seen, in person, online, or in books, was folded so that it met in the middle, not at the side, and edge was folded down (back?) so that the corners made little points on each side.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I&#039;d say despite the fact that it&#039;s in a little rough shape, it&#039;s still a Skookum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
