WONDERFUL EARLY & RARE'MORAVIAN' RAG DOLL Polly Heckewelder
WONDERFUL EARLY & RARE’MORAVIAN’ RAG DOLL. Circa: EARLY 1900’S. This doll is from a smoke free home and has no odors. Here is a charming early cloth doll – made by the members of the Moravian Church. For price reference see page # 385 in the book,’Doll Values’ 13th Edition by Linda Edward. And page #26 & 27 in the book’Cloth Dolls’ From Ancient to Modern by Linda Edward. I sure wish that this “Polly Heckewelder” could tell us about her life. This doll does not have her two bonnets. There is a small tear on her left hand. Her facial painting is faded (but who wouldn’t be after all these years). Her clothes have a dirt accumulation but I think this adds to the doll. Her outfit originally was blue and white gingham. These dolls were first made by the Ladies Sewing Society of the Moravian Church Guild in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to raise funds for the aid of wounded Civil War soldiers. After the Civil War the funds were used to help former slaves. She is a terrific rare cloth doll with wonderful history. From my home to yours. Delivered right to your front door. Don’t forget to add me on as a favorite. It’s that easy. Thanks, Sharon & Ed. The item “WONDERFUL EARLY & RARE’MORAVIAN’ RAG DOLL Polly Heckewelder” is in sale since Wednesday, January 22, 2020.
