    Description

    ANTIQUE 1820s - 30s GRODNERTAL Peg Wooden PEDDLER DOLL 11" from STRONG Museum
    This doll was displayed at the Strong Doll Museum in Rochester - which I purchased at auction. She is so wonderful with all her original clothes and basket of goods.  She even has her original Peddler license attached to the back of her basket that says, "Ann Teal Licensed Hawker No. 20".
    10" tall without hat and 11" tall with hat.
    Paper Mache head and shoulders with hand carved Peg Wooden jointed Grodnertal
    Millner
    model type  Body.  All hand painted . Her original makers gave her an ample breast and a slight bum.  Original fabulous clothes and hat are without damage odors or repairs.  Wire rim glasses! The face does have a hairline crack across the left cheek that goes to her lips.  This has been made quite secure by myself by injecting a microscopic amount of wood glue into the crack.  The blue eyes, red lips and teeth are hand painted.  Her shoes are hand carved wood and hand painted black.  For the entire doll the paint is pretty much all there and in great condition!
    Her woven basket contains the following wonderful items ( the basket has lost some woven straw on the edges but the contents are in wonderful condition.
    Bead necklaces and bracelet, wig, sewing items, lace, trims, pincushion, ball of thread, wool trims, Glass bottle, Shaving razor, playing cards, snaps, soap, book, box, sheet of sewing pins on paper, dusting brush, binoculars, metal hanging piece, etc. etc.
    I am not doing a return for this item because it is a delicate piece and I am worried that shipping it back and forth would damage it SO PLEASE ask all questions prior to bidding and the photos should help with condition.
