The pocket is threaded with 100% green silk and the loop is fashion from the same type of ribbon. <br /><br />The doll measures just 1 ½ inches (4cm) and was made about 1890. It was recently excavated from the ground at the site of a former doll factory in Germany.<br /><br />These little dolls were originally sold long ago for people to bake in their Christmas puddings as lucky charms. They would be kept and played with by the children of the family.<br /><br />I can post world-wide, just ask if you would like a quote for shipping.
