    Wow Love the antique doll.- My mother was born in 1918, so I actually felt emotional seeing that date. She lived to be 90 and had a more modern porcelain doll in her bedroom for many years. (Yes, I am old- born in 1939 and still loving dolls and dolls' houses.) Today, ten of my tiny dolls arrived after being restrung by a talented woman close to my age. I love your 'doll sleuthing"!

    Plus, I imagine that the second face would have been a iron on transfer that went with the pattern. She would have been made from a pattern which are still available as well as costume patterns.

    • @thedollcupboard
      @thedollcupboard  ปีที่แล้ว

      She is sassy! I've had her sitting with the other dolls since I made the video and she seems quite content. It's interesting to me how the slightest detail in painting can really affect the personality of a doll. I'm crazy about Margie, Louisie's China doll. I'm so grateful for her bit of history. 😍✨

    Hi Dot that was great! I really loved seeing your china dolls close up. The boots on the real antique doll are so pretty. They could be old replacements. The originals might have been more crude looking. I would definitely keep them on her because the doll and those boots have probably been together a long time. You mentioned the one reproduction doll had her legs stitched together and wow that is pretty weird. I have never seen that before. I don't know the purpose unless that was their way of keeping the china feet from clanking together and chipping. A better way to achieve that purpose is to use a small old wooden thread spool and push a rubber band through the hole so that each leg can be slipped through each loop of elastic poking out the holes on the ends if that makes sense. If you have small stringing elastic that can work too and probably would be easier to thread through the holes in the spool, then tie a knot after you have both ends of elastic through and the legs secure. That was sweet of you to mention my name. You didn't have to do that. I am happy to assist you with any further such purchases. I love china dolls too as you know. Just now getting things back to normal after our cruise and could settle down and watch this video. How tall is the antique doll????? I might have a simple dress pattern that would fit her.

      Diana! I missed you! I am so excited to share something new with you! I'll share a post on Instagram tomorrow but you'll see in my video tomorrow. (12 PT) 😄 I'm starting to "get" it with the Chinas. I agree that Margie's boots are replacements. Thanks for weighing in on the legs tied together. I was thinking same that it would keep them from clanking. I'll have to re read your post about the spools tomorrow when I'm awake. Lol. I'm on a doll "high " right now with the Chinas. I'm sure you had a wonderful cruise. Looking forward to sharing dolls with you 🥰😍✨

      Aha, now I know it "D"! 😂 How funny is that? It's not a common name at all. I think her eyes look a little funny because her upper lashes slant inward. I thought that was odd also, but was how the template was made. 😍✨

    I wasn’t a fan of dolls either, but I did like paper dolls. I would spend hours cutting up the Sears catalog….but I cut out the furniture and set up houses for them.
    All the dolls are nice finds. I would like to find some of the dolls that were printed on flour sacks. They were cut out and stitched and stuffed.

    Hello, The arm and legs on the 1918 doll look to be in proportion to the size of the head , they could very well be the original one's, they often don't match exactly in colour as they will have been made at different times, the fabric looks like it has been damp at some point and has mildew stains, it could have been stored away for years and older houses were often damp. some antique dolls have very long arms coming down past their knees, I know nothing about ragdolls other than they were mostly home made.
    Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧
