This early pencil face doll is what I call plain and simple. It is the type or doll I would see for sale in the 1970-80's. Somehow the fancier antique cloth dolls didn't appear until the 1990's and later. She has a simple drawn pencil face, no hair, a mitten hand with just the thumb separate and the little turned up foot. She sits easily and fits in with anything on a shelf or with a collection. She has on a very early blue calico dress that has some shredding on the bodice and on the back of the arms. She has a simple slip under the dress. She is 14 1/2" tall and is circa 1880-90.
