Charming Crayon Colored Vintage Wooden Doll black ocarina While this very little one--

While this very little one-- I believe dating to the early 20th century--has some damage to the lid

plus they're super useful in the kitchen for scooping little measures of this or that

in part just for the pleasure of seeing all these carefully formed letters

The message written on the backside (in great hand-writing

and serving as a handle of sorts

Charming Crayon Colored Vintage Wooden Doll black ocarina While this very little one--This doll feels one part bedpost one part Creative Playthings to me, with her crayon colored dress and smiling face making her very much her own singular, sweet self. Im not sure if the wooden form was repurposed from something else or carved by a parent or grandparent to be a doll , but I'd guess she dates to the 50s or 60s, and I think she's really fabulous. 6 7 8" t x 2 4 5" w x 1 2 4" and in very good condition, much better than photos convey.
