Peddler
Dolls
were a favorite of John's and this darling Wooden Peddler
was particularly so. It should be quite obvious why she might be reserved
for a special place...due to her sheer originality and especially endearing
features.
Her tray is chock-full of tiny treasures such as an exquisite sewing box, buttons, beads and even a little watering can! This hard working Peddler measures seven and one-half inches tall. SOLD |

Extremely
unusual is the description for this
China Doll Pin Cushion. She appears to have been "dressed" in braid and beads by an American Indian tribe...as she certainly resembles a papoose. Measures: 5-1/2" long. SOLD |
