Antique Doll with Celluloid Hands and Head

Antique Doll with celluloid head and hands

I found this doll at the Longest 127 Yard Sale and fell in love with the color and textures, even though she is actually pretty primitive. The body is stuffed with straw. I am not certain if this is the original stuffing. I'm actually not a doll expert but I loved the shape and colors.

The head is separated from the body. Feet are painted. Hands are celluloid.

The legs are attached with metal washers. The body is made from muslin. 

You can see the primitive color and natural patina on the fabrics and chippy paint on the hands.

This doll measurements are:

Body from neck to feet 11"

Head 3 1/3 high

around waist 8"

St Valentine Pipe  Dream postcard is dated 1913 on the back. The smoke coming from the pipe enveloping the brides head cracks me up. The back has a handwritten  note as shown below.
