deposed body style of 1867 featuring a molded hollow-leather doll body that he described as
"the most beautiful,lightest and most rugged made to date". Clement's original occupation as
a leather shoe-maker explains his interest in the subject and the curious stitched on leather
"slippers" on this model. Value Points: very rare doll to find,this example an unusual petite
size with unusual feet covering,with antique costume included.
