8 1/2" Milliner's Model Doll

Here is an 8 1/2" papier mache shoulder head milliner's doll with an unusual hairdo. She has a leather body with wooden arms, hands and legs. Her hairdo has long curls on the sides and a bun in the back.She is wearing an old, hand-sewn dress, pantaloons and a slip. She has black painted shoes. When I bought the doll 20 years ago, the leather body was in bad shape, with sawdust leaking out, so I had the body professionally replaced. It has the original red bands around the arms and legs.
