The McLaughlin’s Coffee people wanted to capture the attention of their Nineteenth Century clientele and, so, they produced a series of paper dolls with detachable heads and swap-able bodies. We’ve looked at some from my collection before.
After a century, many of them have donned a patina which gives them a rather spooky look which I find particularly charming. This one is, in my estimation, the spookiest of the lot.
On the reverse, she says the same thing that her scary sisters say:
16 DOLLS IN THIS SET
.4 Baby Dolls.
..4 Girl Dolls..
...4 Boy Dolls...
..4 Mamma Dolls..
THE HEADS COME OFF
YOU CAN DRESS AN UN-
DRESS THEM AS YOU PLEASE.
SECURE THE WHOLE FAMILY.
