and shows a few scattered small pin rust stains

Polka Dots and Bird in Hand, Wonderful Antique Handmade Paper Doll hidden with a nice warm patinaWhat a brilliant thing for the child who made this paper doll long ago to have drawn her holding a bird in her hand. And with one tiny graphite drawing dot for an eye and arc for a brow bringing that bird to life. Wonderful face and shoes! on the doll herself, and complete charmer of a top with watercolor painted sleeves and trim, which fits over her head, plain on reverse. She deserves a great old frame of her own, marvelous. 5 3 4" t x 3" w
