Toy Shop Window 1860-1890 made of glazed and unglazed porcelain, papiermâché, wax, woodens as well as toys carved of wood, paper dolls, and games. Since many toys were imported and largely the products of cottage industries, it was not uncommon to see a variety of hand-carved wooden toys as well such as spin tops, carriages, boats and dollhouses. Frozen "Charlies" and "Charlottes" made during this earlier period are generally under 10 inches tall and sport earlier hairdos and due to their smaller size lend themselves to a fun bath-time display. The china babies inside the wooden washtub are harder to find than most china dolls and include a fully jointed taufling baby. Joining them in the washtub is an artist 8-inch re-creation of an Izannah Walker doll made by artist Dixie Sargeant Redmond. Something sure to delight young children were dancing sand toys ingeniously built inside a glass front wooden box that when turned upside down would move a brass wire that caused the hand colored paper dolls to "dance." 98 FALL 2017
