Hi Jonathan,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The market for Black dolls has been fairly strong in recent months, and there has been a re-examination of the form in museum exhibitions and articles (https://www.antiquesandthearts.com/black-dolls-at-the-new-york-historical-society/). They are often stereotypical (occasionally with racist undertones) and usually it isn't known who made them; almost all are assumed to be American-made.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

An antique American hand-made cloth Black doll
late 19th/early 20th Century
With applied fabric eyes and mouth, sewn nose, fiber hair and mattress-ticking legs, wearing a white cotton jacket and pleated skirt with patterned linen belt.
24 inches tall; approximately 11 inches wide.
CONDITION: Some wear and staining to clothing, minor losses to fingers,
PROVENANCE: Inherited
$700-1,000*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, or questions/concerns, and thank you again for using Mearto.
