Description

15" (38 cm). A companion to #243 and 244, having the plump body of #243, but the facial embroidery of #244. Condition: generally excellent. Comments: circa 1940, commercial production. Value Points: wonderfully preserved original condition of the American doll, an expert capture of the 1940s-era stereotyped historical view of plantation slaves.
