American Cloth Dolls and Their Things
Welcome to this happy site. I love cloth dolls, and take great joy in buying and selling them. Honestly? I would keep them all, but it is an addiction and I am everlastingly grateful to have found kindred spirits who love them as I do. My husband loves them as well. Go figure. He raced cars and jumped horses, but cannot bear to see some of the dolls leave us. One caveat: I do not like returns. Please ask as many questions and request as many photos as you like. I will gladly give you undivided attention. I price the dolls very sensitively. I will do what I can to make your purchase a pleasure. I hate shipping costs and try to keep them under my cost. Please enjoy my finds, and welcome to the club !
A Little Girl's Treasure Box.
3.5" x 8" x 2.5" deep. Years ago, I bought this wonderful 19th c handkerchief box from Stephen and Douglas , and I imagined a little girl, at a birthday or Christmas, finding it and opening it with delight. So, inside, where I placed them, are two adorable china dolls, one from the early 19th c, missing her blouse and one foot, and the other, from about 1850, with everything intact. The whole package is amazing. I have often put it under the feather tree and it brings old festivities to life in the most endearing way. 2 photos.
Price: $350. for all.

15" Black Cloth Doll.
