ANTIQUE VTG PAPER DOLLS TOY 1890s MCLAUGHLIN COFFEE ADVERTISING WEDDING DRESS!!!

Description

In the mid 1890s, coffee companies competed to see who could come out with the best advertising trade cards geared towards children.  It was a strategic move since children would likely beg their Mothers to buy the coffee brand that had the best toys in them.  Mc Laughlin's and Lion Coffee Companies out did all the others!!  They did series upon series to keep folks coming back for more coffee!!!  The cards and dolls were lithographic printed and for that reason, the colors remain vivid to this day, 126 years later.  I have a huge collection of antique advertising paper dolls and toys so check out my store to see what I have listed.  Overall, there may be tears, creases, missing standards (tabs) or writing/scrapes on the backs of them, holes or spotting.  Please view the photos closely for the best description.
This is my last wedding set that I have to offer.  This includes BOTH of the wedding gown tops, one with the formal bouquet and the other with the informal bouquet. The unique 1896 apron calendar has November on one side and December of that year on the other side. Another apron comes with this too. The second doll is in the bridesmaid pose but I couldn't find that gown for it. Please use zoom feature on the photos so you can get an accurate idea of the condition.  Framed, this could make a wonderful wedding or anniversary gift.
My huge paper doll collection has come from estates, other collectors and eBay.  I don't know previous storage history and they could have been in homes where smoking has occurred.  I have a poor sense of smell at my age and I don't know if that lingers.  My collection is stored in a smoke/pet free area of my home, with a dehumidifier running 24/7.  Please see photos for condition and content.
I only ship to the USA with a tracking number.
