Circa 1920s, this darling, small, jointed, celluloid, black baby doll rests snugly in a papier mache or pressed paperboard watermelon box! The watermelon measures 3 3/4 inches long, while the doll measures about 3 1/2 inches long. The interior of the watermelon is pink in color, while the exterior is nicely hand-painted to mimic an actual watermelon! Condition for this delicate piece is quite fine. The two noted imperfections in the tiny doll: a bitty, manufacturer, mold flaw hole in the inside of the left leg hip and an area of the left buttock that was not painted brown. Neither effects structure integrity. The hand-painted papier mache or pressed paperboard watermelon does not close tightly or evenly. Either age and/or original construction are contributing factors. A difficult-to-find, novelty piece of Black Memorabilia! |
