$95 USD SaleSALE Aunt Jemima and Uncle Mose Printed Cloth Advertising Rag Dolls
Dolls:Antique:Cloth:American, Rag Dolls:Black Americana
These two printed cloth dolls were manufactured by the Arnold Printworks. The company created printed dolls from the 1890s until the 1910s. Both dolls are approximately 15 inches tall. They were obviously sewn together and stuffed with cotton batting a number of years ago. The lady figure has “Aunt Jemima” printed on the lower front of her skirt. The gentleman has “Uncle Mose Aunt Jemima’s Husband" printed on his upper back. Neither of these dolls is in perfect condition. They have, however, ...
$265 USD Offers ConsideredLittle Lulu Mask Face Cloth Doll by Georgene Averill
Dolls:Antique:Cloth:American, Rag Dolls
This 15 inch tall cloth doll, circa the 1940s, wears her original red cotton dress with white rick rack trim. The original white collar and red tie are sewn as a separate piece from the dress. In a few of the photos, the collar has turned to the back. The bow should be at the front. I did not realize this until after I had finished with my photos and decided it was not a big enough issue to rephotograph in order to correct. Her red shoes and socks are sewn as a part of her legs. She has a mask ...

Dolls:Antique:Cloth:Russian
This 16” doll is part of the series of folk art dolls in authentic ethnic costumes that were made in the Toy-making center of Russia – Sergiev Posad , beginning in prerevolutionary (before 1917) times. This doll represents the Mordva region and is marked with a label reading “Mordwa Woman” Made in Russia. The use of Russia instead of Soviet Union indicates that this doll was made before 1917. She doll has a silk stockinette mask face with painted features and a tightly stuffed cloth body. Her ...
$495 USD Offers ConsideredSALE Early Lenci Girl Mold 149 – 17”
Dolls:Antique:Cloth:Felt:Lenci
This feisty Lenci girl is charming in her all-original fuchsia felt costume with an extravagant hat and full curly blonde mohair wig. She dates before 1926 as she still has the mitt hands, all-felt body that is stuffed and disc jointed shoulders and hips. She has no unpleasant odors and comes from a nonsmoking home. She came to me with this bright face and original paint, but a very faded costume. I like to do as little as possible to any doll’s original costume, so I took the approach of ...
$1,495 USD Offers ConsideredPhiladelphia Cloth Rag Baby (Sheppard Baby)
Dolls:Antique:Cloth:American, Rag Dolls:Philadelphia Baby, Sheppard Baby
This 21 ½ inch tall cloth baby was created with stuffed and molded stockinette fabric. The head, lower arms, and lower legs are painted and molded. The torso is simply the stockinette fabric. The Philadelphia or Sheppard babies were made in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1900. According to Linda Edward in her wonderful book, “Cloth Dolls From Ancient to Modern: A Collector’s Guide,” “these dolls were sold in the infant’s department of the J. B. Sheppard & Co. store.” This particular example has ...

She does have some wear to her face and hair but, for this type doll, is in very good condition. According to the item description when I purchased her, she was the “childhood doll of Margerie Colvin of Waterford, Indiana,” circa 1893. This ...
$895 USD SaleSALE 16” Lenci Girl in Felt decorated costume
Dolls:Antique:Cloth:Felt:Lenci
This lovely doll is a very good example of the girls produced by Elena Scavini in the 1920s-1930s. She has the darling blonde mohair wig and side buns of the model 149 that was changed to letter series C in the 1930/31 catalog. This doll is pictured in that catalog as C19. To me this face always looks quite pensive and serious, but judge for yourself as it is possible to see many expressions in the Lenci faces depending upon the pose of the head and the viewer. She wears the very desirable felt ...

Dolls:Antique:Cloth:American, Rag Dolls:Babyland Rag. Baby Land Rag
This large 30 inch tall Baby Land Rag Doll from my personal collection was created by the E.I. Horsman Company. This style doll was produced starting in 1893. She is an excellent example in very good clean condition. Her light pink cotton dress and bonnet are original to her. She has a hand painted cloth face and a fringe of hair at the top of her forehead. Her beautiful brown eyes are simply luminous. There is one old patch repair on her left lower chin that is basically covered by her bonnet. ...

She is in good sturdy clean condition with no repaint to her face or hair. She does have some age discoloration spots that I believe are easy to see in the photos. These do not seem to distract from her over all charm. She wears a wonderful costume of antique white lace trimmed pantaloons, a white cotton ...

Dolls:Antique:Cloth:American, Rag Dolls:Black Americana
This 12 ½ inch tall doll has a cloth stockinette head with embroidered features and black yarn hair. His body is black cloth. He wears antique cotton overalls and a print cotton shirt. I did not try to remove the clothing as I didn’t want to disturb the originality of the doll. He is in good sturdy clean condition. What makes him especially appealing is his provenance. In his overall pocket, there was a hand written note detailing this little guy’s “birth.” I have photographed this paper and it, ...

This 24 inch tall doll, circa the last quarter of the 1800s, has an oil painted face and hair. Her body is cloth with sewn on red knit stockings.

$895 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Antique Primitive Oil Painted Cloth Character Lady Doll in Brown Dress
Dolls:Antique:Cloth:Rag Dolls, Oil Painted
This 22 inch tall doll has a cloth body with oil painted head, arms, and lower legs. She is an unusual character who makes me laugh. I particularly enjoy the shape of her nose! I would say she is from the last quarter of the 19th century but she might be slightly earlier. She has no repaint but some wear and chipping to the original oil finish head. I believe my photos show this. I love the shape of this doll’s head and her great character look. Her facial features are painted and she also has ...
$2,195 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Antique American “Columbian” Rag Doll Created by Emma E. Adams
Dolls:Antique:Cloth:American, Rag Dolls:Emma Adams, Columbian
This 23 inch tall cloth doll has a muslin body and an oil painted flat face with blue eyes. She is in good but not perfect condition with some wear to her oil painting and the typical discoloration to the body fabric. While her facial painting has softened with time, there has been no repaint to her so she is beautifully original. Her body is clean and sturdy with no leaks or breaks except for a small tear on her right forearm. The limbs of these dolls were painted flesh color and stiffened with ...

Dolls:Antique:Cloth:American, Rag Dolls
This 18 inch tall doll, circa the second half of the 19th century, has such a compelling face. I saw this doll and just could not put her down. The face has such riveting blue eyes and a charming smile reminiscent of the wonderful early primitive paintings. The head, shoulders, lower arms, and lower legs are oil painted cotton fabric. The body is the identical cotton twill fabric that is jointed at the shoulders, hips, and knees. She appears to be stuffed with old cotton batting. She is in good ...
$475 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Black Babyland Rag Photograph Face Cloth Doll
Dolls:Antique:Cloth:Black:American, Rag Dolls
This 14 ½ inch doll has the most charming face I have ever encountered on a Babyland Rag doll. The minute I saw her, I knew that it was hopeless and I just got out my checkbook. The polished cotton photograph face is in excellent clean condition with no staining and tears. This little girl’s body is quite a mystery. I believe her body is original although one leg is a different color. The stitching is identical and it may be that, when she was manufactured they just changed fabrics in the middle ...
$995 USD Sale PendingSALE PENDING Large 23" Norah Wellings Gaucho Doll

Dolls:Antique:Cloth:American, Rag Dolls
This 26 inch tall doll has a cloth body jointed at the shoulders, hips, and knees. She has an oil painted flat face and painted hair. I find her to be quite reminiscent of the charming early primitive portraits of the mid 1800s. I would say her age is the third quarter of the nineteenth century. This doll is in good clean sturdy condition for her age with some old age spots to body. Her head is original to the body but has been loosely reattached at the front where it has pulled away from the ...

She has an oil painted face and blonde hair with a well made cotton sateen cloth body that is jointed at the shoulders, hips, and knees. Her exquisite antique cotton dress fits her beautifully. She also wears an antique white cotton petticoat trimmed with lace. I added the hat to complement her face but I believe the ribbon to be of a later vintage. This could always be replaced by antique ...
