Applehead Skookum dolls refer to the earliest, rarest versions of the famous Skookum souvenir dolls, which were first created by Mary McAboy in Missoula, Montana, in 1913. These specific early models featured heads hand-carved from dried apples, giving them an organically wrinkled, expressive look that simulated aging.
Because the dried fruit was highly prone to moisture retention, molding, and rotting, McAboy quickly phased out the use of real apples within a year of production. Consequently, authentic "applehead" Skookums are highly coveted by collectors today, often commanding prices anywhere from $400 to over $1,000 depending on their condition and rarity
