Unbeknownst to me, I am now a collector of said dolls. I found the little cutie on the right at Williams' Grove. Cowboy Earl's "Everything's a Quarter - Quarter Time". That's what he shouts as the market gets to be about 10:30-11:00 or so. I've found some pretty neat things in his box lots that were overlooked.
The other one on the left is a little more crudely made. I've had her in my curio cabinet for a couple of years, and I can't tell you where I found her. Her face is barely visible, and her hair is glued all the way through so it doesn't fray. She carries a basket of flowers. Her mob cap is not hemmed, but she is on a stand made of a section of branch about 2" across and about 1/4" thick.
The redhead on the right has long hair in the back, although it looks a bit unbrushed. She may have had a purse or something, as there is a yellow felt circle on her right wrist. She wears pearls like Barbara Bush. I love her double pink calico dres, and her hat is very smart.
They both have knickers. The one on the left has a petticoat, the gal on the right has none. Very daring!
I'm hooked. I'm looking for more!

Those are so cute. If I find any I will definitely let you know. I am still wandering antique malls and small town yard sales...find some cool things that way.
