Dolls : Doll Clothing, Accessories

 

This is an unusual antique doll's trunk or suitcase with a patent date on the handle of Nov. 11, '76 (1876). There is also a patent date on the lock of Jan '69 (1869). The case is made from black embossed pressed cardboard with a black metal frame where it opens. There is a metal disc on one side where the owner cold put their initials, but it is blank. Inside is lined in paper with a turquoise flower print, and dived into two compartments by a center panel. There is a charming printed paper lithograph of a little girl feeding a hen and her chicks while a baby in a basket watches. The baby is dangling a doll by one arm.

The trunk measures 13" x 8.5" x 8".

Condition: This case is in decent usable condition given its age. There is no key to the lock, but the latch opens and closes well. There is exterior wear at the corners and hinge, and minor loss to the paper lining inside.

Does your antique doll long to travel. Does she need a valise to hold her wardrobe while on the road?
