To Enlarge Them
Lottie is an early pencil face folky primitive doll, beautifully sweet, well loved cloth doll with wear appropriate for her age. Facial features look like pencil, she has much patina, some staining, and possibly rust like stain above her waist. An opening on her head shows the early batting inside. Underarm area could use a stitch as it has opened over time from play. Her lower arms are old leather, her hands have flattened with their stuffing peeking out, they look original to me and seem to be holding their own.
Knees are hinged. A darling size measuring just under 12" tall from head to heels not including length of dress. Dress is longer than she is, simple treadle and hand stitched striped dress. She's been hung on the wall from the string around her neck.
A Fabulous Old Gal with a welcoming face.
