Vintage Madame Alexander Tom Sawyer Doll 491 with Box and Accessories

This is a highly collectible vintage Madame Alexander doll representing the classic literary character Tom Sawyer (Model 491). Standing approximately 8 inches tall, the doll features the brand's iconic 'Wendy' face mold with sleep eyes and molded hair. He is dressed in his signature character ensemble including a red and white checkered shirt, denim-style cuffed shorts with a rope belt, and a straw hat. The set includes his original fishing pole accessory and the original blue floral Madame Alexander box. These dolls were produced by the Alexander Doll Company in New York and remain a staple for vintage toy collectors. The doll shows excellent preservation with crisp clothing and functional eyes. The box provides significant value, though it shows some shelf wear consistent with age. This piece is a quintessential example of mid-to-late 20th-century Americana doll making.
