705201 16" French Fashion Bru Smiler Doll F Mark on Head
She is wearing a beautiful maroon 2 piece outfit made with a heavy cotton, bustle in the back and pleated ruffle on the bottom of the skirt. The dress is early, but has been altered to fit this doll. The tailoring in places where alterations were made is not as good as the original unaltered part of the dress. The arms are smaller and were taken in to fit these new replaced arms. The pictures have some flaws. There is a green stripe that goes across the dress that is a camera problem. It is not on the dress itself.
1005361 Antique Wh Cotton Pique French Fashion Doll Cape 1860s
This is a lovely early all white cape with ruffled collar. The design is simple but beautiful. It is completely hand stitched, so finely done I had to look under the magnifying glass. The cape itself is like a pique or tiny woven shadow babric. The ruffled collar is like a batiste or lawn type fabric. The collar can be worn upright or folded over. It looks pretty either way. There is a button hole at the neckline, but the button is missing. This looks to be from the 1860s and is in good condition for the age, except for a few minor pin holes and one small early mend. None are obvious or noticeable when being worn by the doll.
This is a single piece of fabric that was cut as a semi round. It is 7" long in the front and 8 1/4" long in the back. There is a 1/2" band at the neckline and the ruffle is 1 1/2" deep. The band at the neckline is about 11" around.
1005360 Lt Grn Plaid Cape French Fashion or China Doll 1870s
Nice early doll cape for a French Fashion or China Head doll. It is predominantly a light green plaid with some blue, gray and thin lines of off white and red. There is a dark blue silk ribbon in the back and it ties in the front with the same color blue ribbon. The cape is lined in a very thin white silk fabric that has deteriorated. (see picture). This is a relatively long cape. I do not know just what the fabric is. I think it could be a blend, possibly a linen and wool combination. It does have a coarse feel to the fabric. This is probably from the late 1800s. The condition is fairly good for the age. I mentioned the problem with the lining, but there are also 2 places, one on each side in the back where it looks like the fabric was pulled. Possibly it was caught on something. Overall, it is not that noticeable.
It is 12" long. The neck is 6 1/2" around.
1005356 Ethnic Doll Apron w Embroidery & Metal Lace
This is a rather interesting item. I believe this would have been an apron for a doll dressed in an early ethnic costume. The apron looks like it has metal thread running through the light gray fabric. There is some embroidery on the lower part of the apron. It is trimmed in two types of metal lace and trim. The ribbon that ran through the top is almost all worn out, but is still there.
The apron is about 7" long and 3 3/4" wide. The condition is good for the age. I can only guess at the age, but I believe this would date to somewhere in the late 1800s.
This is one of several items that I purchased from the Richard Wright Collection.
1005352 French Fashion Doll Gloves - Richard Wright Collection
This is a nice pair of brown leather doll gloves for a larger French Fashion or other bisque head doll. They are a very soft leather with gussets. There is an opening on the inside with a brass button. The condition is good for the age. These probably date to the late 1800s. The fingers are 3/4" long. The gloves are 4 3/4" long, 2" wide (4" around) at the wrist and 2 1/2" wide across the top. The gloves are from the Richard Wright collection.
This is one of several items that I purchased from the Richard Wright Collection, which I am putting on at this time. There are doll gloves, a sewing pocket, a doll cape or overskirt, some doll gaiters and 2 corsets.
1005351 Antique Small Wh Leather Gloves for French Fashion Doll
This is a pair of small antique white kid leather French Fashion doll gloves with buttonholes on the inside, nice piping around the opening, dark fancy stitching and an under applique of dark leather under the white scalloped edging. The gloves came from the Richard Wright Collection. They are the perfect size for the average French Fashion doll and trunk. They are 1 3/4" long and 3/4" wide. The fingers are very tiny and have gussets.
The condition has problems. Both gloves show dirt from age. One glove is relatively good, but the button on the underside is missing and the black leather under the scallops is there but has become unstitched. The second glove is worse as the underside of the glove is torn. I have 2 pictures of this, one a close up to show the missing button and another to show the torn underside.
This is one of several items that I purchased from the Richard Wright Collection, which I am putting on at this time. There are doll gloves, a sewing pocket, a doll cape or overskirt, some doll gaiters and 2 corsets.
1005350 Cameo Pendent for French Fashion Doll
This is a very nice looking doll size cameo pendant. It is only 3/4" not including the loop and 1/2" wide. The pendant shows a woman with flowers in her hair and at her shoulder and is set in a lovely cold color or brass color oval frame. This is early, but I just do not know how early. Although it is lovely, it is not carved from shell. It is probably some type of early plastic. Plastic was invented in the 1860s, not to be confused with plastic from the 1950s and beyond. This looks to me to be from the early 1900s.
This would be great on a French Fashion or China Head doll and would also make a nice accessory to add to a doll's wardrobe trunk.
1004302 20" German Bisque Socket Head Doll AM1894 Jtd Body
This is a lovely 20" German Bisque Socket Head doll made by Armond Marseille with the 1894 mark on the back of her head. She has brown sleep eyes and a fully ball jointed composition body. She has a new blond wig. She is wearing a nice all white 2 piece sailor outfit and hat. Beautifully made but not early. The underclothing was made from one of those early ivory woolen children's petticoats with some embroidery and scalloped edges. Her stockings are new and the black oil cloth shoes are vintage.
The mark on her neck is 1894 // A.M. 5 DEP // Made in Germany. She has no hairlines in the bisque head. It looks like her eyes were reset and tend to stick a little. There is a dent on the back of the torso
where it is just pushed in a little bit.
The arms and legs look good with some wear near the joints. I took pictures of the legs and feet as well as the torso. Her hands look to be
repainted. I have taken some pictures of the condition problems with the torso. Someone put a nail in the side of the torso and there is some crazing. The nail is a magnified
picture so it looks a little worse than it is. It does not really affect the doll and it took me awhile to figure out what it was. The doll is still solid and in fairly good condition for the age.
1004300 Precious 9" Brown Eyed Googly Googlie Doll A.M. #323
This is an adorable 9" bisque head Googlie doll Mold A.M. #323. She has brown sleep eyes, blond hair and is dressed in an original ethnic style outfit. She wears a white blouse with full puff sleeves and a large collar. The skirt is a dark red print with dark blue attached apron decorated with lace and embroidered trim. The belt is a brocade fabric with metal trim. The combination is adorable and quite unusual. She is also wearing a red cotton print kerchief around her head. The mark on the back of her head reads: Germany // 323 with some numbers below that, probably A 6/0 M. I do not want to force the head forward to read the numbers on the neck properly. The numbers are a bit difficult to read.
She has a five piece composition body with molded and painted stockings and shoes. The doll is in good condition with no hairlines in the bisque head. As you can see in the close up pictures, she has a few black spots "beauty marks" on her face. Her eyes do not close all the way, but that can probably be adjusted. The black paint on the shoes is dry and has wear. Her wig is a bit skimpy in places.
1003306 Antique 9" China Head Doll Julia Brown Prev Owner 1880s
Lovely 9 1/2" china head doll dressed in a lovely brown calico print 2 piece outfit all hand sewn. It looks as though it was made and cut down from another doll dress. Most of the hand stitching is nice, but around the shoulders, it is a bit crude. She also has nice early petticoat and pantaloons. The doll has nice coloring on her cheeks and the red line above the eyes. The detail is very nice The outfit is sewn onto the doll which I do not want to unstitch. I can feel the shoulder plate through the jacket and it is a deep shoulder plate and I can feel no cracks or chips through. The smaller dolls like this usually do not crack or break as much as the larger heavy china dolls often do. The doll has china arms and lower legs. The legs have rose colored garters and blue shoes with a slight heal. The hands are closed and the lower part of one hand has chipped off. I took 3 pictures of her legs. There is a slight variation in the one of the blue shoes in the front. This could be a repair as the back of the shoes are both the same color blue. That is the only damage I see to this doll.
One very interesting thing about this doll is the printing of the name of a previous owner and possibly the original owner. It is in brown was done with special lettering. I do not want to unstitch the dress unless I have to, so the full name does not appear in my picture. The name is Julia M. Brown. I do wish there was more information, but am pleased to have that.
I also noticed that whoever made the dress used the underside of the fabric for the dress. Perhaps they wanted it to have a more muted look. I took one picture of the inside ofd the dress which has a brighter print.
909354 Brn Very Worn Wrapper China Head / French Fashion Dress
This is an interesting and rather primitive wrapper or morning dress for an early China head or French fashion doll. The wrapper has long sleeves and is fitted in the back. This would probably date from the mid 1800s. The fabric is a nice warm brown with flowers, sort of off white with a touch of light red. It is a yellowish brown print and is fully lined in the dark brown cotton that was used for linings during that period. It is like a coarse linen and almost gives the illusion of tapestry. There is a light grayish brown fabric trim. Because the fabric is coarse, there is a lot of wear because of the type of fabric. The trim has worn away a bit, but I think it could look a little better if the loose fabric was stitched back in place with tiny stitches. I would try it myself, but I do not sew. There is a trim around the bottom that is 1 1/4" and a ruffle that is 1 3/4" for a total of 3" of decoration at the bottom of the coat.
As mentioned before, the condition is a little rough in places. Mostly the wear on the trim. The basic fabric looks good, probably helped by the sturdy lining, but there are seam splits on the underside of the sleeves that need mending. I also noticed a few torn places in the ruffle in the back. The ruffle did not have the protection of the lining. Shoulder to hem is 19 1/2" long in the back and 18" long in the front. Shoulder width is about 7" seam to seam. The seams are 6 1/4" long.
909353 Antique Red Doll Dress for China or French Fashion Doll
This is a very nicely made long sleeve dress with the deep sloped shoulders and a full skirt for any lady doll like a French Fashion doll, china head doll, wax or papier mache. The bodice is lined with a white cotton lining including the sleeves. There are 3 strips of black cotton braid or tape decoration on both the front and back of the bodice and a single braid on the cutts of the sleeves. There are 7 black buttons in the back for closure. There is a 4 1/2" ruffle at the bottom of the skirt placed over the skirt itself giving the dress a nice fullness.
The fabric is some type of wool that is thin but coarse. It is like a window pane design with off white lines over red. The dress looks to be completely hand sewn. The dress probably dates to around the mid to late 1800s and is in good condition for the age. There are some breaks in the fabric. I have had dresses made of this type fabric before and it almost looks as though threads in this fabric almost wear against itself causing the breaks. It is similar to a challis wool, but is different. There are pictures of some of the problems that are shown below.
The shoulder width is 6 1/2" from seam to seam. The sleeves are 7" long. The dress measures 17 1/2" from shoulder to hem and about another 1" in the back. The waist is about 10" around. Shoulder to waist about 5 1/2", waist to hem about 12".
909352 Antique White Pique Doll Dress 1860s White Work Trim
This is a lovely early white cotton cord or pique doll dress from the mid to late 1800s. It is a very exquisite but simple design. This would look nice on many different types of dolls, lady or child. It is an "A" line dress fitted at the shoulders with a relaxed waist. The sleeves are 3/4 length with the same white eyelet trim that is on the hem. It has a beautiful pocket in the front of the dress at the side. The pocket is made with a lovely white work design with a braided trim at the top. There are 4 tiny buttons in the back.
The shoulder width is 5 3/4" seam to seam. Under the sleeves it measures 6" across the chest, widening to about 6 1/2" at the waist and continuing to widen the full length of the dress to about 18" across at the hemline. From shoulder to hem it measures about 16". The sleeves are 4" long. The sleeve opening is about 3" around.
The condition is good for the age. It is probably from the mid 1800s, but could be a little later like 1880s. I do not see any rips, tears or stains on the dress.
906310 Early Pantaloons Lt Wt Woven Fabric for Rag Doll
This is an early pair of doll pantaloons that would be suitable for a rag doll. They could be mid 1800s or earlier. The are made with a light weight woven shadow fabric plaid on the upper portion and a ruffle of a very light weight early fabric. They are completely hand sewn. The pantaloons have the split crotch which makes it easier to fit on different size and shapes of dolls. They are also very full from the waist down and almost look like a petticoat. There is a lot of wear and they are ripped in the back making these suitable for a rag doll. Of course, they could also be used by any of the early dolls, like chinas, papier mache, French fashion, wax, milliners models, etc etc. I am sure they could be patched and pieced together if you wanted these for one of the early dolls I just mentioned.
They measure 8" long including the waistband and the waist is about 6" around. I mentioned that they were very full and measure about 19" around about where the hip would be. The opening for the split crotch is about 4 1/2" including the opening at the waistband.
812301 24" China Head Doll Exposed Ears China Limbs
Pretty blue eyed 24" china head doll with china limbs. The head is in good condition. There is a factory mark above one eyebrow and some of the black has worn away on her hair. She does have a few problems. The arms have replaced thumbs and one replacement has come off. One arm was broken and glued back together. Her china legs do not match, but both are the same size with black boots and blue garters. One boot is pointed the the top and the other has an indentation. The doll is very heavy and has a newer body with old limbs.
She is dressed in old clothing. The blouse is a light weight woven striped fabric. The sleeves are lengthened with lace that just covers the fabric portion of her arms. The lace is flexible and fits easily over the cotton portion of the upper arms. The skirt is a nice early shear print similar to an organdy. The waist needs to be taken in an inch, so I just have it pinned over. The outfit is early enough and looks nice on her.
802302 12" Bisque Head Ball Jointed Doll Charming Dress Mold 50
This cute doll is dressed for a Victorian Christmas party. She is a bisque head doll with blue sleep eyes, open mouth with teeth and a dimple in her chin. Her mold number is 50 with 3/0 after that, and Made in Germany below. There is a strange applied mark below that. I cannot read it as there is a repair to the neck opening. There is a lot of heavy glue where the original wig had been, but I still cannot see any hairlines. My camera does not do well with contrasting colors so I have taken pictures with the dress removed so you can see a better picture of the doll. There is also a picture of just the wig to give you a better idea of the color. She is a dark blond or light brown.
She has an interesting ball jointed body. The upper legs are not the usual design. The top of the legs are flat and fit against the side of the leg openings on the torso. The person who fixed up the doll put the top sections on the wrong sides. A close up picture shows the upper portions of the dolls legs, both front and back, so you can see how they look. I am not going to have her restrung as it is not much of a problem, but if someone does have her restrung, it is just the upper sections that need to be switched. There is a crack in the finish on her foot and the hands and lower legs look as though someone washed them, but the red lines are still there.
She is wearing a newer outfit in a navy blue taffeta plain with a deep red velvet sash with a bustle effect in the back. The dress has a pleated ruffle below the sash. The petticoat has ribbons and eyelet ruffles and has a label that reads "Designed and Made by Connie Brekke New York". That is just on the petticoat, but she may have also designed this cute dress. She has long navy blue stockings, but no shoes.

708226 AM390 Bisque Head Doll English Soldier Grenadier Outfit
This 11" Armand Marsielle 390 bisque socket head doll has a wonderful British soldier's outfit. He is dressed as a Grenadier. He wears a red felt jacket brass faux buttons, navy blue collar and cuffs, both with white trim. The epaulette is trimmed in white with a brass button. The belt is white felt with a metal buckle. The soldier's trousers are navy blue with a red stripe on the sides. The shoes are nicely made with a patent leather type material. I will show a number of pictures showing all the detail. The base of the fur hat is black with a little straw decoration at the side.
Including the fur hat, the doll would measure 12". The doll has brown eyes. I have never removed the fur hat to see what is underneath. There is a bit if a brown wig showing, but I do not know if it is a full wig. Since I have not removed the hat or wig, I have no way of knowing if the doll has sleep eyes or if they are stationery. He is fully jointed, knees, wrist, elbows, shoulders, etc. The outfit was sewn on the doll and has never been removed so I cannot give any information on the covered areas of the doll, but since the doll has always been protected by these coverings, I am sure everything is in good condition.
There are a few problems with the outfit. One sleeve was positioned with a crease and, where the crease is, the fabric disintegrated. There is also a bit of shelf dirt, as I am sure it has been displayed on a shelf for many years. The belt also has wear in a few places.
708224 13" Bisque Shoulder Head Doll Molded Hair Painted Eyes
This is a 13" bisque shoulder head doll with molded hair and painted eyes. I have sometimes seen this doll referred to as stone bisque. There is a mold number on the shoulder plate that reads: 136 2/0 N . The doll has anbsp;cloth body and bisque lower arms and hands. The upper arms are kid. The cloth body looks newer, maybe just 40 or 50 years old. The arms are kid with lower bisque arms and hands, probably from the early 1900s. The head would be early 1900s also. So, this is someone's put together. The hands have chips on the fingers and I have taken close up pictures of both hands. There is a heat check at the edge of the mold line on the shoulder and there is a tape mend on the leather portion of one arm, but is otherwise in good condition. She is wearing a red velvet coat dress. It is not quite finished, but does fit this doll nicely. It is fitted in the back with a slight bustle effect in back. The front is a loose fit and comes straight down. Lace at the neckline and sleeves made of lace, might give the dress the finished look it needs. The fingers are molded together, but there is roughage and chips on the fingers.
707220 Brown French Fashion Doll Coat Dress Great Print 1870s
Unusual sleeveless day coat for French Fashion doll. It was made with a lovely early brown calico floral print from the 1870s or earlier. The collar is made with a black woven cotton fabric lined with black chintz. The outside fabric on the collar has worn out a bit. The rest of the coat dress is fine. There are 3 turquoise glass buttons in the front for closure. The coat has black fringe at the opening in the front, around the armholes and along the hemline. It was too small for a 16" French Fashion doll that I have, so it would probably fit on a 14" or 15" Fashion doll.
The coat is 10" long plus an additional 1" of fringe. The shoulder width is 3 3/4". The waist is about 8" around.

706205 Blk & Wh Calico Wrapper for French Fashion Doll 1870s
Antique black and white calico morning coat dress or wrap with pale blue trim for French Fashion or China Head doll. This early dress would be a nice addition to your doll's wardrobe. Every doll trunk should include one of these nice early dresses. The light blue trim is a silk brocade fabric. There are 2 sewn in pleats in the front and 4 in the back. They are all sewn down to just below the waistline. There are 5 buttons for closure. I believe the coat dress originally was left opened from the buttons down. Someone has sewn it shut from the buttons down to the hem. It is just a baisting stitch and could easily be removed. I have seen these wrappers made both ways, some left open and others sewn shut. I can tell from the age discoloration that his has been sewn shut for quite a long time.
The condition is fairly good for the age with no major rips or signs of wear. It could use a cleaning. There is a break on the back of one of the sleeves. The dress is 16 1/2" long, shoulder width is 8" across. The waist measures about 15" around. Sleeves 4" long. This coat dress is designed to be wider. While the shoulder width is 8", a doll with a 5 1/2" to 6" shoulder width would look fine with the shoulder seams of the dress falling below the doll's shoulder.

705203 Bisque Shoulderhead Doll Mark 5 on Head
Beautiful 18" shoulderhead doll with blue paperweight eyes and closed mouth. The only mark is the figure 5. Her eyebrows are a light color and feathered. The wig is like a strawberry blond and match the eyebrows. She is a pale bisque with nice color on the cheeks. The shoulder plate is nicely formed with indentations where the arms would begin. The doll has a cloth body with replaced arms. The hands have a folk art look. Her wig is heavily glued on so I cannot check underneath, but I see no evidence hairlines in the areas that are visible.
She has wonderful early ankle high blue leather boots. The lower part of her outfit was made from a French Fashion blue silk skirt. The top was put together with multicolor lace for the bodice and upper sleeves. The lower part of the sleeves are made with a grosgrain fabric that is pleated at the bottom. Her hat is blue felt. She has 3 petticoats and pantaloons.

702202 Rare 9" Bisque Head Doll A.M.395 Flapper Orig Dress
Lovely rare bisque socket head doll on 5 piece composition flapper body in the original clothing. She is 9" tall and the mold number is A.M. 395. This number is shown in the German Doll Marks & Identification Book by Jurgen & Marianne Cieslik. The only information it gives is "Armand Marseille / ca 1925 / "AM". Character, sleep eyes, open mouth". I could not find it in any of the Value Guides. Values are given for #300, 400, 401, all from the Flapper series, but nothing for #395. The 300 and 400 numbers are for Lady dolls, while #395 is more of a child doll. The open mouth Lady dolls are valued at around $1,200 to $1,500. The doll auctioned here is an open mouth doll with a child-like face or even a young teen face with the flapper style 5 piece body. Her bisque is in good condition. She has nice color with slightly feathered eyebrows and blue sleep eyes. This doll would make a lovely addition to any doll collection.
She has molded on and painted white stockings and brown shoes with a slight heel. Her original dress is a pale bluish green silk with lace on the neckline and sleeves, a drop waist and two ruffles for the skirt. The dress has machine embroidery-like stitching on the bodice and on each ruffle. She also has the original pantaloons. She is wearing a brown early wig that is not original to this doll but looks right. Her condition is good with no breaks, cracks or chips. She could use some restringing, however, it was done very nicely at the factory with a flesh colored sealant covering where the elastic was placed on each arm and each leg. It would be ashame to remove that sealant.

608219 Blue & White Stripe Doll Skirt 1920s
This blue and white stripe full skirt is made of a nice heavy cotton or broadcloth type material. It measures 6" long plus a 3/4" waistband. The skirt has the hem taken up and if it is undone will make the skirt 7" long. The waistband is 8" around. It needs to be pinned shut for closure. The white is sort of an off white tweed like color. My picture showing the hem on the inside shows this tweed effect the best.

This is probably from the late 1800s. It is 9" long from shoulder to hem and measures 6" across under the sleeve openings. The sleeve openings measure 6" around. This would fit many different types of dolls and different size dolls, from China Head dolls, French Fashion dolls, child or todder dolls or even baby dolls or teddy bears.

604214 Ladys Vintage Braided Fur Hat
I am not certain just exactly what this is. It looks like a small fur hat that would sit on top of a lady's head and possibly with a veil added. The fur looks as though it is braided, or two pieces for fur wound around. It has an 8" diameter one way and 9" the other way. I have no idea as to the age. My guess would be 1930s or 40s. It is also a nice size for a doll and I am using a 29" doll to model the hat. It does look nice on a larger doll.

Red and white doll apron made of a heavy material for lady dolls, such as a china head or a French Fasion lady doll. It would look good on either type. This could also make a nice addition to a Fashion doll's wardrobe trunk. While it is relatively inexpensive, it is something that is needed in every Fashion doll's trunk. The apron is white and is trimmed with red. The waistband and pockets are also red. The apron was probably made sometime in the late1800s and is in good condition for its age. It is 6" long, 5 1/2" wide at the top and 8" wide at the bottom.

509505 17" Bisque Shoulder Head Doll W & C w/ Horseshoe Mark
Pretty brown eyed 17" German shoulderhead doll. She is marked W & C 610 or 6/O with a Horseshoe mark like the Ernst Heubach dolls. "Doll Mark Clues" by R A Shea refers to this mark as unconfirmed E. Heubach. She has an unusual body, part kid and part cloth. The arms and lower body (hips to knees) are a kid leather. The torso is cloth with a thin waist and made thinner by a crude waist cincher, just a crude piece of cotton wrap. This also has made the waist a little floppy, but it is still okay. The gussets at the hip and knee allows for some bending, but not much. She can just barely be made to sit a little in a doll chair, and is more of a standing doll. She has bisque lower arms, but the thumbs are missing. Her cloth feet have a nice form and will hold a shoe. She has brown eyes that are stationery, a nice brown human hair wig with a braid in the back. The braid is a little off-center, and would look best if rolled into a bun in the back. She wears some nice antique underclothing, a pretty camisole with buttons in back, a wide lace collar and lace sleeves. This could be a blouse. The antique petticoat and pantaloons are also nice. Her eyes are plastered in place. I believe there is a factory flaw on the eyelid as it is under paint, but has a little curve to it, possibly when the mold was removed. She is a very pretty doll. no hairline nice shape to feet.

The stem of the umbrella is wooden and the very tip is brass. The handle is made of a celuloid. The very tip of the handle is broken off. The working mechanism is good. I can only see a few weekensses in the green silk portion, but other than than and the handle, this is in good condiiton. This is probably from the early 1900s.

211225 This is a very unusual antique robe that would be suitable for a French Fashion doll and would be a great addition to a fashion doll's wardrobe and trunk. The sleeves are a maroon silk and the collar is the same fabric. The basic robe is a high pile flannel fabric with a heavy weight backing. The belt is a maroon satin cord. The condition is good. It looks to be from the 1880s or 90s. It is all hand sewn.

403207 This is an antique French Fashion doll boot, a single only, but has a wonderful design. This is a low cut boot. It has the usual black heel and the lower part of the boot is patent leather. The upper part are gray wool and black buttons. They remind me a little of the spats that used to be worn over men's shoes in early times. This is part of a pair of boots that has been worn by a doll, so there is wear on the botton of the boot, but are otherwise in good condition.
Measurements: 2 5/8" long and 1" wide at the widest part of the sole.

305221 This is a good looking fabric in this skirt. The fabric is designed to look like a tweed in 2 shades of brown. It is probably from the 1880s and is all hand sewn. I have shown a picture of the inside of the skirt to show how the gathering or ruching was done with the fabric folded over, gathered and then whip stitched onto the waistband. This would probably be the right size for a 17" to 19" Chinahead doll, French Fashion or Papier Mache. It measures 10 1/4" long including the waistband and 8 1/2" around the waist. The condition is very good with no stains, rips or tears.

303271 This antique doll petticoat is beautifully made. Some doll petticoats are just cut down from other things and a waistband added, but this was was specifically made to be a doll petticoat and has very nice tailoring. It is fully gathered all the way around and is nice and full with a very small lace trim at the bottom. It is a pure white medium weight cotton and the button and buttonhole are in good condition. Some waistband machine stitches are coming out, but this does not affect the construction. It is about 9" long and 9 3/4" around the waistband. The fullness at the bottom is 36" around. This looks like it is from the early 1900s, probably anytime up to the 1920s.

105117 This is a pretty pair of doll shoes for a larger doll (probably for a 22"- 24" doll). They are a robins egg blue oil cloth material with a buckle and bow on one shoe, but the other is missing. This would be a fancy dress shoe that ties in front with ribbon and have black heels. Possibly a blue bow or ribbon could be used on the front of the shoe for the decoration. From the furthest part of the back of the shoe to the toe it measures about 3 1/4", heel to toe 2 3/4" and 1 1/8" wide. Other than the missing decoration on one shoe, they are in good shape.

103104 This is a wonderful old French fashion doll trunk for the smaller size doll. This size is very difficult to find especially with any type of partitions in the tray. It still has the original red paper in the top of the trunk and on the tray. The trunk is pine with another wood going across the top and metal in the edges. The tray has 3 partitions and originally ther were 3 separate lids. You can tell this as each section has a nail in the center for latching. You can also see where the back part of each section still had the nails for holding the lids. The trunk measures 12" wide, 7 1/2" deep, 9" to the highest part of the dome and 8" to the lower part of the top. In the 3 section area, one edge is broken off. Also, the leather handles or straps are missing. One picture shows the trunk with a 12" doll so you can get an idea of how it will look with that small size doll. The doll is not included with this listing, only the trunk is included. I would imagine this trunk would be nice for any doll from 10" to 15". It can be difficult showing a doll with all the accessories if the trunk is too big.

103089 This is a beautifully made poke bonnet that would fit about a 12" French fashion doll. It is a nice dark indigo blue with almost a cape that goes around the shoulders. The visor part is about 4 1/2" around. The back panel or cape is 3". The picture is not great, but I am showing how this looks on a doll. The doll is 12" and is not for sale with this item, just the bonnet which is also shown separately.

010063 Wonderful country looking doll blouse in a blue and white homespun type check with indigo blue sleeves, printed dot design. I think the front of the blouse has the higher neckline and gathers at the waist, but could also be worn with the opening in the front. The blouse measures 3 3/4" across the shoulder, 5" across the chest or back, 4" across the waist, 5 1/2" sleeve and 4 1/2" from neck to waist. It probably dates between 1880 and 1915.

008049 Lovely old picture frame of molded brass decorated with colorless stones. The frame has no picture or mirror with it. It could be used for either. This would be nice for a French Fashion doll's desk, dresser, or trunk; or any other doll that needs nice accessories, or even a larger scale dollhouse. The frame measures about 1 3/4" tall by 1 1/4" wide. I would guess that it dates from about 1890 to 1920.

012090 This French fashion doll trunk is the early style with the flat top and is sort of a canvas (painted a dark color) over wood. There are 4 thick strips of wood with brass finishings across the rop and one on each side for reinforcement. The leather that wraps around all the edges is so hardened it almost looks like copper (but I am almost positive it is the leather). The interior is covered in a nice stripe ticking material. The tray has a folding top with two compartments. The lid of the trunk has silk ribbon held in place with tacks for sliding in small things to keep them in place, such as gloves or hankies. Overall condition is good for its age. Leather handles on the side are gone and the top part of the lock is missing. The trunk measures 18" wide, 12" deep and 11" high. This trunk would date to the mid to late 1800s.
