Charming Crayon Colored Vintage Wooden Doll carved wooden bead I have a weakness forThis doll feels one part bedpost one part Creative Playthings to me, with her crayon colored dress and smiling face making her very much her own singular, sweet self. Im not sure if the wooden form was repurposed from something else or carved by a parent or grandparent to be a doll , but I'd guess she dates to the 50s or 60s, and I think she's really fabulous. 6 7 8" t x 2 4 5" w x 1 2 4" and in very good condition, much better than photos convey.
