Hopefulness incarnate if I ever did see it! And this gently smiling, bright eyed face reading as a pure expression of the want to be loved.  I did immediately,  perhaps all the more so for her having lost one leg along the way. Resilient, she still sits up on her own. And her arms have a full range of motion and hold in place when raised over her head. Pulling up her skirt reveals a petticoat under her pink, flower printed dress, and one painted white sock with pink stripe rising from her chunky black painted shoe!--which certainly confirms that this is the dress she has always worn. C. 1930s or so I believe and very charming.

7 1/16" t x 3 1/8" w. One leg lost as evident and a few small holes in her dress, but very good condition otherwise, sturdy and sound and not at all fragile.
