Articulated doll with red shoes & socks
21 August 2021
Description

This is a fully articulated doll without clothes (sadly). She does have red shoes & white socks. She seems to have perhaps ivory teeth and a partially open mouth. Her hair may or may not be real.

Provenance

This belonged to my Father (or Grandmother) who collected many things in the early 30's. It has been kept in a bag, stored in a cabinet for many years.

I replied to your comment on Gmail. No, there are no marks under her hair (glued down on a...mesh strip?) nor on her feet. All that is there is the no. 13 on her back. Pics are in Gmail.
