    This little guy came with the other 2 wood bead dolls I posted last night.

    Poor guy lost his skis but retained his poles.

    He is 3 5/8" top to bottom. His face appears to be a composition that has lost its paint. I think his body is made of a similar material wrapped with a variegated thread, and his feet are wrapped with a brown thread.

    Does anybody have any information about this piece?

    I'm going to post on the antique Christmas collector page on FB. Who knows. Maybe it's a rare 1900 item.

    I've looked and don't see a skier but that makes it more rare. I'd list is as a "Grecon style wound yarn doll." Put the price up enough so you can make some decent money!

    Thanks again!!

    It won't be hard to make decent money since I paid so little for the whole box of stuff & have sold several other pieces already. :happy::happy:
