Doll in a purple dress
A doll in purple dress, dated 1870 to 1890, by an unknown maker. The doll has a stuffed cloth body, a wax over plaster head and plaster arms and lower legs. Her eyes are made of glass. She is wearing a purple silk dress with cotton underclothes, and has a spare striped dress. The dresses have been altered in the past. Examination by x-ray revealed a possible squeaker or similar mechanism in the chest. The doll came with a spare leg for repair!
