A young girl doll about 32"-34" tall. Hair is very nice and has been protected with a fine net which covers the head. Eyes close and the facial features are hand painted with white little teeth.
The dress is perfect, as are the shoes. A little infant bottle is with her but probably wasn't originally.
I bought this Remington bronze statue about 20 years ago from a Savings & Loan auction in Houston, Texas during the S & L crisis. An S & L owned it and it didn't have a base or whip in hand at the time. I just added these a few years ago. The foundry who added the base for me says that it was over 100 years old and could be one of Remington's originals and could be worth a lot of money ($250,000). It has a pose similar to his "Wooly Chaps" and "Bronco Buster" but has some differences in the final production models of these. It is unsigned and without any foundry markings. Nothing was noted underneath either before I added the base. Anyone know anything about original Remington pours? Thanks.

There is a note on the back of this indicating that the motor was replaced in 1980, and from what it sounds like, it may have been replaced with a motor from another Seth Thomas Clock. The stamp on the motor says 1969. the person who wrote the note obtained the clock in 1970. It does not say whether it was new at that time or if it was an antique. I have tried to find a similar clock on the internet, but have not seen any Seth Thomas clocks that have such a dark background or that look hand-made like this one. I don't know if it is a fake or something made to look old to celebrate the year the company was established, or if the wood work is actually from 1813. I'd imagine it is not worth much anyway with the battery powered motor replacement, but if anyone has any info, I'd appreciate it!
I bought this rocking chair over twenty year's ago at a yard sale.
The seat cover that I removed was of red and gold tapestry (it looked to be from the Victorian era). I wish I had left it alone. Underneath the tapestry and thick muslin cloth? and burlap? was what appeared to be ball's of cotton, straw and horse hair.
I have no idea where this chair was made or when. I'd love to know what kind of wood this is, what style, what year it might have been made and where. I was trying to decide if I should recover it or just throw it away. I can't see a trace of glue and the chair is very sturdy with no split's in the wood. I'd appreciate any information. Thanks
