Description: See photos. Comes in box. The legend is back— Buddy Lee doll The Lee Company created Buddy Lee in the 1920's as an advertising device. He has come to represent the authentic, youthful, unstoppable spirit that Lee has built upon. The first Buddy Lee dolls were dressed in Lee overalls and displayed in stores throughout the country as window displays. Lee encouraged dealers to sell the dolls after they were through displaying them. The demand become so great that soon Lee provided dolls for retail sale at about $2.50 each. In 1949, a new Buddy Lee was introduced-he was 13 inches tall and made from a hard plastic. The proportions were changed the proportions were changed to facilitate dressing. His legs were slimmer and slightly bowed and his hands were larger. By 1962, the doll had to be discontinued, for expenses had risen to the point that it was no longer profitable to sell him. At one time, Buddy Lee was the second largest-selling doll in the United States. Buddy Lee is a collector's item today, with doll enthusiasts paying as much as $ 1000 for his likeness. In short, Buddy Lee was the man. We're proud to the legend is back now. We reproduced Buddy Lee in three most remarkable outfits with limited amounts in 1999. Buddy Lee is back. He has resurfaced to mark Lee's return to its roots. He represents the part of the past Lee takes with is as the company moves into the future.
