    What A Find! Vintage Handmade Cloth/Rag Dolls!
    Up for bid is a set of 6 handmade dolls that were made by my great-Aunt in the 1920's or 1930s. Each doll is composed of a very firm cotton body, with facial features, makeup, rosy cheeks, and drawn/painted finger separation... even fingernails! painted on the body. My aunt sewed all the clothes for each doll and then used long colored yarn sewn strand-by-strand onto each head to create the hair, which she then styled in a unique way for each doll.
    Below are descriptions of each one:
    "The Brunette"

She is wearing a red velvet jacket with a white blouse with embroidered flowers and stems beneath it, a green-and-blue plaid skirt with a matching white ribbon with embroidered red flowers and stems on it. The red hat has a green feather in it, with curly yellow blond hair beneath. She has a white slip with a lace border beneath the skirt with a pair of white bloomers with lace around each leg opening.
