<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 3915809, member: 27"]The wax dolls Ive seen had much more refined features ,so unless he melted a little Id guess a home made one,albeit lovingly . I just watched a British Roadshow that showed 18th century dolls in pretty much mint condition and he does rather look very much like they did. The whiteness of the lace is throwing me,even tucked away for 200 years you'd think it'd have yellowed at the least. Hes really very charming.Maybe the buttons can help date?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
