999 1/2″ Cloth Ravca Fisherman and Wife. These dolls were sold in the 1930’s & 1940’s in the Kimport Doll Catalog. This set originally belonged to Edith Plumb, who started a large doll collection during this time. Ms. Plumb devoted herself to her mother, Mrs. H.B. Plumb and her doll collection. At her death she left 105 million dollars to research and charity. Her father had bought the original Kellogg Stock Offerings and never sold them. This is where the family fortune would come from. Edith was born in 1908 and would die at age 88 in San Francisco, California. An interesting story about these dolls is that Ms. Plumb took pictures of these and several others from her collection and they would be featured in the Volume 2, Number 9 and in the Volume I, Number 6 Doll Talk Magazine. I purchased the dolls in 2010 from a seller in San Francisco, California.
