    Description

    Ooh, la la!
    This charming little celluloid, dancing,
    "Can-Can" style,
    doll measures 4" high overall and just over 3" without her huge bonnet with pink plume. Designed
    about 1930,
    probably as a
    souvenir or party favor
    she has jointed "dancing" arms and legs with painted black shoes and stockings, thick blonde curls and her
    original black tie cord for attaching to a party or diner menu.
    She wears a lavish, pink taffeta, and black lace dancing dress with large black felt bonnet with pink feather and lace plumes as well as a tiered lace petticoat and panties and is in excellent condition with no break or repairs, no stains or odors as is from a smoke free home. She would look wonderful with a larger French doll or framed with other French mementos. Antique porcelain, French dinner menu holder & other French celluloid dolls shown are
    not included.
