Notes:
See files 2002.11.097 & .098 for history. Outfit, skis, and shoes made by Vogue Dolls, Inc. Ski poles look hand made and very like toys T.S. Parke made for daughter Mary Ann. Attachment of red shoes to skis were likely a home project. Figures stamped on pole shaft likely marking of 1/8" metal rod stock.
