| Black Americana doll by Krueger. Doll is 14" tall in very good condition. A gift from my hubby 20 years ago. But, we can't keep everything! It's time to downsize. The back of her head is soft, the face is a moded firmer fabric than the nylon covered back as it appears to have been painted. There are a few softer facial lines that show the lighter nylon fabric color Then the eyes & nose were hand painted. The head is sewn to the body. Molded ears, nose, lips, eyes. The torso is two pieces, the arms are two pieces then attached, the legs as well. The sides of her feet have two extra stitches, not sure why. Her hand crocheted hat has a label "Bonny Charlotte NC, her cotton dress has a label Krueger NYC with the K in a blue oval & the registration logo. The dress is in slightly faded but good condition. The dress has attached matching bloomers & fits her very well. The doll was sold to us as a "Krueger" doll 20 years ago. I have yet to be able to locate a doll exactly like her. The only information I have received from a doll expert was that Kreuger dolls referenced in the "Blue Book - Dolls and Values" by Jan Foulke (Hobby House Press) is that American made cloth dolls with painted faces, made from 1880 - 1930 are mentioned but no sizes are given. Kreuger started business in 1917! Values could be between $1000-$2000+ We will consider offers. for Black American dolls. Black Americana doll |
