ANTIQUE EARLY PRIMITIVE CLOTH DOLL 21" Olive

Description: A wonderful early cloth doll with just the right wear, no guessing if she is old or newly made! A definitely Loved old Girl full of "mommie" made repairs and early clothing in worn condition but still holding its own. I have given her an early wig of a reddish medium brown that seems handmade, it's only pinned on. She measures about 21" tall and has great patina to her worn face with its lovely embroidered eyes which I think the centers used to be pale blueish a long time ago. She feels cotton stuffed with some peeking out of her foot. Her arms are lanky likely replacements or need to be attached properly. Her right arm sleeve is torn down to the lining making it look quite tattered and incomplete as part of the brown piece is missing on the front side of it. Her other sleeve looks complete. Any tattered areas I believe can be fixed by putting similar color fabric underneath the worn areas. Her clothing though tattered and worn looks to be original to her. Her tobacco brown outfit is a two piece fitted jacket or topcoat with beauty pin and a bustle style gathering in the rear with a long ruffled hem skirt. She has early under garments which have patina to them: a chemise type bodice with attached slip, pantaloons that have torn at the bottom, a cotton knit bloomer over that and another cotton knit skirt or top, hard to say. One foot seems slightly shorter than the other or simply has lost its makeshift black stocking. She seems a good sitter don't know if she is hinged at the upper thigh or not. She is a keeper which has been in my collection for years, named her "Olive" after one of my Aunts.I'm no expert so please read & look thru her photos. *** Please note: Layaways Not Offered on Auction Items *** Feel free to email any questions or ask for additional pictures.
