Extraordinary and very early, all cloth “Baby Land Rag“, “topsy-turvy”, “Topsy & Betty”, black and white doll, circa 1904, with hand painted features (before they started using the lithographed mask faces) and measuring about, 14″ tall. Called, #7 “Two Dolls Combined in One“ as shown in original illustrated, BABYLAND Rag Dolls, catalogue, shown on page 64, “Cloth Dolls”-Linda Edward, she wears all her original clothing as pictured there. One side has shows “Betty”* with the most beautiful, blue painted eyes with excellent detail, eyebrows to match her wispy blond painted curls, adorable little nose, blushed cheeks and sweetly painted mouth. Flop her over to find, “Topsy” with thick black hair and dark eyes. They have a cotton-stuffed, linen body, joined at the waist, stuffed heads and mitten-type hands and wear their original fine cotton dresses, as well as their matching, Shaker type  bonnets with wide, face-framing ruffled trim and ties. They have no damages or fading, no stains or tears and no repairs, no odors as they are from a smoke free home.

“TOPSY-TURVY”– What is this? Looks like just a pretty miss, But turn her over and you’ll find She is quite another kind. First she white and then she’s black, Topsy that side–*Betty this–Yet complete, each little miss.
