| Doll:
Mollie Raushart won this large wax doll in 1883 in a
contest sponsored by the Washington Volunteer Fire Company of
Delphos, Ohio.
The contest was held to raise funds for a new steam engine.
Kate Eysenbach, a Delphos milliner, made the doll’s dress.
The doll’s hair is natural.
It is one of eighteen antique dolls on display at the Allen
County Museum. |
