This box was on my brothers front porch...so I took it.
He was just going to throw it away.
I was wondering, the doll clothing is falling apart, is it worth saving? Would someone want this? Or should I throw it away?
The doll in the middle is not rotten or falling apart, so I will keep her. Does she look familiar to anyone? I know nothing about older dolls. I only ever had Barbie Dolls.
How and Why these items were in the same box...I'm not seeing a connection.
Thank-You
DollsPeople have made dolls for thousands of years for use as religious objects,…
I love the old cloths Beaux ! They are fragile and would have been on an antique bisque doll . The Japanese girl or chinese doll is very cute ! I would say from 40's .Hard to put a maker to many of the cloth dolls because they rarely had labels to help identify them. I would just sit her on a shelf and enjoy her . Love it all !
Thank You Manikin! I put her on my dresser, I feel like a little kid! I brought home a few old doll trunks today and haven't even looked thru them yet...It feels like X-mas :)
Oh can I come and have Christmas too ! So much fun to look through old doll trunks . I would be to excited and have looked already . Kind of like sneaking down stairs on Christmas Eve to see if Santa came yet . Let me know what you find :-))))))))) See Grandma has some surprises for you in the old house !
