This lovely Papier mache doll above is one of Edyth O'Neill's beauties, the picture is an auction photo. Edyth says, "Amy came from the Merritt museum auction with a little museum tag in her apron pocket with the name "Amy" written there. She is a German made doll, of the Greiner period, and was one of my favorites in this musem where I visited her many times over years."
