Horsman Composition doll circa 1930s to 1940s early

 I don't know her name but I loved her on sight. The tag said Rosie Cheeked doll.  Well yeah that fits.

Compos crazed and flaking off, paint flaking off, clothes raggedy and dirty. The wig is not her original and was barely sitting on her head and she was missing her pate. 
she got a good cleaning and that  made her cheeks rosier still.

Fresh touch up to paint. Filling in of chipping paint, made a thumb for her.
clothes washed and ironed. a pair of bloomers made and socks provided. Still need to find her shoes. She has eyelashes now and teeth and a tongue.  I took the same wig and brushed it clean of dust and snarles.  One day maybe a real hair or mohair wig. And there is a pate now to cover the hole in her head and to provide a base for the wig.
