Another dominant feature
of Ellen E. Houghton dolls,
is the turned-out ballerinastyle feet, in which this doll
demonstrates, wearing her
original leatherette shoes.

fairytale characters, which the dolls
featured in this article may have been
made to represent.
The doll that came home with
me is only 9-inches tall, but she
presents herself with a much grander
stature in personality. She is made of
pressed, needle-sculpted stockinette,
with a stitched nose and mouth, and
piercing blue glass eyes. She sports
a gray-styled mohair wig, a sweet
cotton floral top, a red wool skirt,
checkered blue wool apron, white
pantaloons, black woven stockings,
leatherette black shoes, a white
cotton and lace edged bonnet and a
lovely dark blue full-length woolen
cape. She came with a round tag,
reading "N. Rosenberg" (perhaps her
previous owner), and numbers on
the soles of her shoes, either museum
indicators or originally numbered by
the maker.

face and warm demeanor, exuding

The earliest examples of the E. Houghton dolls appear very simplistic and charming in their
nature and construction, with shoe button eyes and nose, and a slight stitched mouth. No
one can deny the charm of this little girl, wearing her darling red wool dress, a matching
knitted scarf and a cap, sporting her American Indian Head penny, while carrying her
bundle of sticks. She is prepared for the upcoming winter months. Private Collection
