Spring Production Baby, ca. 1930s.
A collapsible production doll designed for appearance from a borrowed hat or other production apparatus. Constructed with a painted papier-mâché head featuring hand-painted facial details, cloth body, pink-painted hands, lace-trimmed sleeves, floral bib, ribbon accents, and matching bonnet.
Production babies of this type were a popular feature of stage and club magic during the early twentieth century, providing a surprising and highly visible climax to production routines while collapsing flat for concealment before performance.
Minor wear to the painted head and expected age-related toning and light soiling to the fabric costume. Presents well and retains its original costume and painted features. Measures approximately 21 inches in length.
