These are from my own private collection, Due to moving I have decided to start down sizing my doll collection So be sure to look for more EFA type dolls ,Watch for our up coming auctions I will be offering Cloth, Patterns, really awesome doll books and more,
Brother and Sister are being sold as a pair only . This are very old , from the 1930's - They are created from Dolls to make for fun and profit Book by Edith Flack Ackley

I named them BRother and Sister,They just seemed to say that is who they are and this is why I won't sell them separately.. I am by no means a Edith Flack Ackley expert, Just have a true Love for this doll and her doll artist Brother and Sister are just awesome, Let me tell you about them!!

Sister is 16 inches, She has a wonderful hand cotton hand crochet hat Sisters right leather shoe is coming apart , Do to her age, But is still together , She has delicate under panties hand sewn with lace on the edges. she also wears a nice petticoat, Along with a seersucker type dress with matching apron, it seems to be all hand sewn..tiny ric-rac hand sewn and hand hemed , Hand embroidery faced,She seems to be stuffed with cotton,Which is exactly what Edith said to use, also goes with the time period of 1930's - Delicate socks along with her leather shoes.. Sisters right leather shoe is coming apart , Do to her age, But is still together , I show a close up of her shows in pictures. Her hair is yarn Finished like Edith says to do in her "Dolls to make for fun and profit Book by Edith Flack Ackley " Last but not least Sisters hair has a hand sewn velvet bow...Can you tell I love this little gal!!
