What do you think of her?
You can see pictures of the other doll to be auctioned, which is an Izannah Walker doll, here.

Back in the fall I visited with a wonderful lady, who shared her antique Izannah Walker doll with me, and allowed me to document her doll. ...
I don't think it's an Izannah...to me it feels like what we do: the sincerest form of flattery. :~P
ReplyDeleteBut I really know so little about some of the early ones, and some of them that really ARE IW dolls don't look like the rest of them...sooooo who knows?
Thanks for posting the pictures. The lack of side lockets made me curious wondering if this doll was reflecting the later hairstyle of the mid- 1860s. And the penciling on the back of the shoulder plate "patent applied for" made inquire with the National Archives for other documents filed for her patent. Next week, I should have the 14 pages & will forward the pdf to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I know who bought this doll,and so am hopeful to get a better look. :-)
