Monkey Man


There's something about monkey dolls that draws you in.  They're like humans, but not quite........

This little guy is made of a material called composition.  It is a pressed, wood pulp which was originally billed as being unbreakable.  Unfortunately, this material proved to be more fragile than the china and bisque dolls it was designed to replace.

A Bottle of Baby Parts


If you'd like to horrify your shopping companions, simply go into an antique mall and purchase an old jar filled with various odd baby parts.  I found this beauty in an antique mall in Lincoln, Nebraska.  I think it has a certain artistic beauty just the way it is, so I have no immediate plans to change it!

Peanut Baby



The makers of this little celluloid doll went into great detail making the details on her body and face.  They even put her in a sweet little peanut.  Then, to give her a mouth, the just punched a hole in her face!!!  A bit harsh, don't you think?  At least her monkey friend doesn't seem to mind.
