Part of our , “American dolls” celebration. Here for your enjoyment and consideration is an extraordinarily, RARE very early all original, 22 tall, wigged and bare foot , antique oil painted, stockinette cloth ALABAMA BABY doll by Ella Smith of Roanoke, AL. Most of these hand painted dolls have only painted hair and painted shoes. She has tab-jointed shoulders and hips with individually stitched fingers and toes, applied ears, sturdy shaped legs and distinctively shaped derriere for sitting as well as the circular head seam (no painted hair) beneath her original, thick curly human hair wig. She also has originally painted, vivid blue eyes, lashes, brows and nicely shaped mouth and nose, painted arms and lower legs. From a private Virginia collection, she has been preserved in all her original clothing consisting of a fantastic antique, blue and white, sailor style, pinafore dress, shirt with blue collar and cuffs, matching blue and white sailor bonnet with buttons, undershirt and lace camisole, pantalettes, original blue & white knit stockings and leather shoes with side button closures. She has had no repairs or repaint and no touch-ups although she does have the commonly found age split to one side of her face and wear to her shoes as shown. She has no odors or fading and is from a smoke free home. Her clothing is in excellent condition with no stains or tears, no repairs and no fading. Her very own small Alabama baby doll is NOT included and will be listed separately. See page 20, 16th Blue Book-Foulke. It is believed that her wig and antique locket are from her first owner.
