Black Memorabilia: Topsy Turvy Doll

Dolls : Black Americana : Dolls : Topsy Turvy : Cloth : Vintage

 

Absolutely darling vintage topsy turvy doll with a little African American doll on one end and a little white girl on the other end. The little black girl is dressed in a pretty red dress with tiny white hearts with black trim all over it. The white girl has a light green with pink & black stripes floral motif overall. The dolls are made up in vintage material and are original. Both have painted facial features.

A topsy turvy doll similar to this one can be seen on page 79 of Collecting Black Memorabilia by J.P Thompson, copyright 2002-2003. Estimated price: $125-200.

This little doll is in excellent vintage condition. The trim across the bodice on the backs of both dolls has been stapled on the back to keep in place by a previous owner. This is not original, but left like that for the new owner to decide what they wish to do with it. It was an easy fix! Easily resewn & doesn't take away from its collectible status, etc. Only mentioned for accuracy! Dimensions are approx.: 9 1/2"L. Unmarked.
