Make sure to check out all of my auctions after you’ve looked at this one. I’m listing an eclectic assortment of museum quality antiques and collectibles this week, and I suspect that there will be something to interest just about everybody. Here’s a 1930′s Effanbee Charlie McCarthy doll in the rare 1st edition “Eddie Bergen” box. Condition of the doll is excellent to near mint throughout, as you can see in the pictures. The spring that closes the puppet’s jaw needs to be replaced (or possibly just refitted — I haven’t opened the doll up to see), but the cosmetics of the doll are exceptionally nice. Clean clothing, with no tears or insect damage. Beautiful skin tone, with no tar/nicotine residue. A perfectly formed top hat. You get the picture. Charlie’s head is pristine, as you can see in the photograph, and his monocle is undamaged. The box lid has three detached side flaps (one is in the box; the other two are long gone), and an entrepreneurial prior owner (quite possibly the original owner) used back side of the lid to promote a Saturday morning refreshment business on his/her front lawn. Otherwise the box is complete and in presentable condition, and the label is clean and fully intact as you can see. The doll comes with the stand pictured in the photographs. If you’re looking for a nice collectible to place beside the doll, check out my other listings this week — specifically, a near mint 1938 Majestic Charlie McCarthy radio. The two have been shelf-mates for decades, and it would be nice if they could stay together a bit longer. That’s about it. Rest assured it will arrive at your home in the same fine condition in which it leaves mine. The item “Near Mint 1938 Effanbee Charlie McCarthy Doll withRare Eddie Bergen Misprinted Box” is in sale since Sunday, May 31, 2015. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Radio, Phonograph, TV, Phone\Radios\Tube Radios\1930-49″. The seller is “firebottles” and is located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. This item can be shipped worldwide.

Make sure to check out all of my auctions after you’ve looked at this one. I’m listing an eclectic assortment of museum quality antiques and collectibles this week, and I suspect that there will be something to interest just about everybody. Here’s an exceptionally nice 1938 Majestic Charlie McCarthy radio. This is the less common brown version, and its condition is excellent to near mint throughout. Charlie is complete (including the monocle and chain), with vibrantly colored enamel and no damage or paint deterioration. The case is pristine — probably the nicest CM case I’ve ever seen. In the back, below the lower left screw hole, there’s small chip (hidden by the back cover), but the other screw holes are perfect (very unusual for this radio), and the case itself is almost like new, with no cracks, no gouges, no scars, and a beautifully formed grill whose slats are straight and undamaged. The chassis is likewise clean — with minimal oxidation and the original paper label still intact — and the radio still works. Has modest performance consistent with other low tube-count 30′s mantle radios, but when warmed up, the radio will tune most high-powered local stations and play them good volume. The line cord has been replaced, but the antenna line is original and in good shape. Overall, a really super example of an eminently collectible antique radio. And if you’re looking for a companion to perch beside it, check out the Effanbee Charlie McCarthy doll I’m listing separately this week. It’s the rare 1st version with “Eddie Bergen” printed on the box instead of Edgar Bergen, and like the radio you see in this listing, the doll’s condition is close to mint. The two have been shelf-mates for decades, and it would be nice if they could stay together a bit longer. That’s about it. Rest assured it will arrive at your home in the same fine condition in which it leaves mine.
