A VERY REMARKABLE WAX DOLL...

Sangers Department Store in Dallas, Texas, ca 1910, was
founded in 1857 by five brothers.

The large wax doll stood on top of an old
oak and glass display cabinet in the " doll "
room of an estate sale. At first glance, she was
not particularly attractive and there seemed
very little interest in her. It was on the second
visit to the sale that caught my eye and she
found her way to a new " home. " Almost
immediately, an old envelope fell from her
dress skirt. It was then that this ordinary
wax doll became extraordinary, with a rich,
documented history. How did this doll that
was most likely at one time held by outlaw
Frank James come to be in this estate sale and
moreover - come home to me?
The doll measures 25-inches tall. Her head
and shoulder plate are of poured wax, with
slight damage to the face, as Mr. Laughlin's
letter mentions, on a tightly stuffed cloth
muslin body. Her arms and legs are of wood,
painted and varnished. Her only markings
are that of " HILL, " etched into the top of
her wax head, which is covered with a long
dark brown human hair wig, twisted into a
single back braid. Her red velvet and lace

This letter fell from Miss Lula
James' skirt, personally typed
by Harold Laughlin, Director of
the Heard Museum, McKinney
Texas, dated January 1976.
