During the Civil War & other times when supplies were scarce, dolls were made from handkerchiefs. Also known as church dolls, they were one of the "Sunday toys" that children were allowed to play with only on Sunday. Some mothers would put a sugar cube or some type of hard candy in the head of the doll for a young child to suck on to keep them quiet during the long church service. The dolls didn't make a noise if they were dropped either.

This doll is new and unused.
I purchased it to use in our homeschool classroom for a history study we were doing. She has always been stored in a sealed bag.
