Description
I call this a "doll," but it is more of a show piece than a play thing. It appears to be unglazed ceramic, with spot painting, ie., hair, face, sweater, jacket and shoes---some has an airbrushed look, some is hand-painted detail. It is probably molded, as it sounds hollow; side "seams" appear to have been "sealed" with a flat knife while medium was still pliable. Engraved on the back of the legs is "BY BG (c) APACHIES BABE." My father won this at a fair in the late 1920's or early 30's. Other than a "chip" on the toe of one shoe, it is in great condition.
