Antique 19th c Peddler Composition Paper Mache Old Woman Doll 15" Sweet!

Description

I am selling this doll for a friend of mine who is in her 80's.
Up for auction is a wonderful, antique peddler doll with a sweet expression on her face. Her lower arms and legs are composition. Her body and upper legs are stuffed with straw, while her upper arms feel like they are stuffed with cotton. I believe her head is made of paper mache or some similar composition material. She has brown, glass eyes, a white mohair wig, and little wire spectacles. She is carrying a straw tray filled with antique wares, which includes old metal charms (a trumpet, pitcher, fan, iron, spade, rocking horse, sled, binoculars, suitcase, cabin, and candle holder). There are also old cloth potholders and tiny Frozen Charlottes, a jug, a bell, different color trims and shells.
Her antique cape is a cream colored wool which has a bumpy texture and brown trim. Her dress is cotton with a vine pattern in soft colors. She has a ruffled apron and old red socks. Her antique straw bonnet is trimmed with silk beige and taupe ribbon. Her antique cotton slip and pantaloons are trimmed in lace.
Size: 15"
Condition:
This old gal has some condition issues on her face. The finish has worn off on her cheeks, chin, lips and forehead. Her nose has an old repair. There are two hairlines-one near her mouth and one near her eye. The antique ribbon that makes up the bow on her bonnet is shredding, there are spot stains on her cape, her socks have holes in them and don't fit her feet properly, and some of the charms that once hung from the strings on her tray, are missing. She is still a lovely, charming doll that makes a great presentation!
