11.5" All ORIGINAL Antique 1840-50 SLIT HEAD, Sleep Eye Wax on Peg Wooden Body

Description: For your consideration is an antique 1840-50 all org. wax head doll with a peg wooden body and mechanical sleep eyes! How hard to find is she!? This doll is 11.5" doll with a wax shoulder head in fair to good condition. She has molded breasts. Slit head with inserted human hair set into org. ringlets coiled into the back. She has painted brows, black pupiless eyes that SLEEP when a lever is pulled. The lever is strung thru her body and is made of wire. Her coloring is good and she has just a few tiny wax cracks, but nothing major. The head is loose from the body, so I left it in case the eyes ever need adjusting. Peg wooden body has joints at the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees. It retains the org paint (some paint loss) and excellent flat sole painted black shoes with red painted ties. The body is so rare on this type of head. She's wearing what appear to be her all org clothes that consist of a white on white embroidered two piece dress (sleeve on right needs a few stitches where it's come a tad undone at the elbow). It is really a blouse and skirt set. Under her dress is an antique white cotton, lace trimmed petticoat and matching bloomers. She's even a four time blue ribbon winner!!!! DISPLAY READY!
