About the Item

Early 20th Century American Folk Art Jigger Doll A great example of an early 20th century American hand carved folk art articulated jigger doll. With brilliantly shaped body and hand painted facial features with cool side burns. Stood on a wire stand for display purposes. Jig dolls are traditional wooden or tin-plate toys for adults or children. They are dolls with loose limbs that step dance or 'jig' on the end of a vibrating board or platform in imitation of a real step dancer. In London they were frequently operated by street entertainers or buskers. In England old soldiers from the Great war sometimes busked with them to supplement their meagre war pensions Dimensions in inches: H 12” x W 4” x D 2” Age: Early 20th Century Origin: America Condition: Good This item shows natural wear and aging with scratched, scuffs worn wooden areas, chipped paint and natural patina.
