1950s Cricketers or Baseball Players Bendy Dolls

This vintage pair of 1950s pipe cleaner dolls features sporty figures posed with miniature bats, suggesting either early baseball or cricket player themes. Each figure stands approximately 3.5 inches tall and is mounted on a round wood base stamped “JAPAN” underneath.

3 1/2" tall.

Crafted entirely from colorful chenille pipe cleaners, they each hold a bat in one hand, with expressive stances that add character and motion. These playful mid-century figures are perfect for collectors of sports-themed novelty items or anyone who appreciates the handmade charm of vintage Japanese export dolls.

Like many chenille figures from 1950s Japan, these were produced for the Western market and are part of a whimsical tradition of pipe cleaner dolls made for decoration, souvenirs, and small gift shops.
