From a very nice collection of WPA dolls, be sure to check out my other listings if you’re interested. Up for sale is a pair of beautiful WPA dolls. These dolls were made in Indiana and were probably in a museum or school at some point. Dolls are approximately 14 tall and are in excellent condition. The woman doll does have a little wear to the forehead, but overall she is in great condition for the age. These were stored in a handmade box with a glass front, the boxes alone weigh 14 pounds. The main picture doesn’t show the glass because I couldn’t get a good picture with it there, but it’s in great shape, slides in and out of the box. These were part of the WPA (Works Progress Administration) project that commissioned women to produce dolls between the years of 1935 to 1942 as part of a federal program during the Great Depression. Some were made as children’s toys, mostly cloth and filled with cotton. Other dolls were produced as visual aids for schools and museums, like the dolls in this listing. They have composition heads and cloth bodies. These truly are works of art, the clothes alone are amazing in the quality and attention to detail. Please feel free to request more pictures. Thanks for looking, have a nice day! This item is in the category “Dolls & Bears\Dolls, Clothing & Accessories\Dolls & Doll Playsets”. The seller is “kristamkw130″ and is located in this country: US.
