A very interesting Beecher type black cloth doll with flirty eyes. Before you get really excited about a rare Beecher doll, I think that someone did this later on. Usually there is a piece of shell or white cardboard on either side of the shoe button eye and this is embroidered with white floss on the right sides of her eyes. It could be original but I kind of think not. Anyway, the eyes are old, not newly done by the looks of them and it is very enticing. It makes her very cute. Her body is all original and her outfit fits her nicely, a dress with a matching head do. She has an antique petticoat under the dress. No surprise that her face has some loss to the top layer of stockinette. That is what happens to a lot of dyed black fabric. Over the years the iron oxide dye weakens the fabric and it gives way. It is not a sign of the doll being miss handled it is the nature of old black dyed fabric. She is 20" tall. You probably won't find another one of these.
