This is a rare antique early 1800s American military figural eagle head sword. It measures 36.5 inches in length, the blade is 31 inches and 1.25 inches wide. There is a crack in the handle, pictured on one side. There is a design to the blade but there is such a dark tarnish to the blade it is barely visible, im not sure how it would clean up. This is a better quality eagle head presentation sword then most you might find. I do not see a makers name , again because it is so tarnished.

” price a BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE 7″ MILLINER’S MODEL DOLL WITH RARE HEAD! A SUPERB EXAMPLE of her type, this wonderful early doll with a PAPER MACHE head in a hard to find mold is a lovely model with distinctive appeal; you will love her ORIGINAL PRESENTATION! A suitable diminutive size for a larger scale DOLLHOUSE or ROOM BOX vignette, we can envision creating an 1840’s parlor or kitchen scene around this fabulous early doll, as she wears a two piece ensemble consisting of a tunic style blouse of a eggplant purple silk moire fabric with black velvet collar, and contrasting long black silk skirt, both appearing original to her! Please note that the purple sheen on the fabric is more aged in front where the material was most likely exposed to light than the back of her top which is a little brighter in color. The doll herself has a beautiful early hand painted PAPER MACHE face and shoulder plate with black sculpted hair, and painted features including greenish-blue eyes, dramatic black arched eyebrows, subtly blushed cheeks and dainty red lips. There is age related wear to the paint on her hair and areas on her face including her nose, but the paint is original to her and did not want to compromise her charming originality by having her features modified in any way! Her MILLINERS MODEL type body consists of a leather torso with beautifully sculpted WOODEN arms and hands with delicately carved fingers, and carved wooden lower limbs with red painted tops and purple boots. Please note that there is a professional touch-up to the painting on her boots and reinforcement to the leather on her body and have shown a picture of her legs depicting an example of the professional work that was done. In our opinion, the minor restoration work done to her and age related paint wear do not detract from her overall CHARMING PRESENTATION, considering the fact she is about 175 years old! Any other doll or accessory items used for display are not included in this offering, unless otherwise specified. THANK YOU for LOOKING and GOOD LUCK!
