She was made in the Door of Hope Mission which was created in China in 1901 to help destitute children. The girls of the mission were taught the skills to hand make each doll's clothing. They were paid for dressing the wooden dolls and in the process they also learned to appreciate and be proud of their Chinese heritage. This doll is circa 1920. 14 36 42 52 62 70 78 108 90 124 DOLL NEWS * UFDC.ORG 1http://ufdc.org
