I purchased them from an Ohio based dealer at the Rhinebeck show, and would have scooped up everything he had acquired from their collection if I could have. Given the form, I am guessing he was whittled down very long ago from a longer (and larger than usual) hand-carved clothes pin as a make do doll of sorts--all 19th century, certainly. About as \"primitive\" as it gets, with very tender and expressive face, which to me feels both hopeful and vulnerable. To my eye and sensibilities, a very beautiful thing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 11\/16\" x 1 1\/8\" x 1 1\/8\". Very good antique condition, very rich patina, will stand on his own on a flat sirface. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48321972175102,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_5234_bc4c9ee8-c3be-4fbe-a53d-008e0c6e12d6.png?v=1780014014","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/ultra-primitive-19th-century-carved-clothes-pin-form-doll-with-expressive-face-and-super-rich-patina-1","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
