I found this doll in with all my grandmother's antique doll she used to sell at her antique store in Los Angeles California. I did not want to give up on this doll he's so nice but he's missing an arm. He has his other arm but it's loose. It's a beautiful doll. I thought somehow someone could fix him and enjoy him because he's a very nice little doll. I wanted to know that on his back is a small metal part I was not sure if that was something for a wind-up mechanism or maybe he attached to something else could be anything. I certainly think this doll could be a great addition to any fall decor. Why don't you give this poor little dolly a new home thank you for considering. He is a hard plastic material and measures 6 3/8 in tall.
