Buttercup is appropriately marked EIH Co for E.I. Horsman dolls. Her ORIGINAL eyes are perfect, opening and closing as they should with most of her brush lashes present but quite short. All painted features are clearly defined and intact with just 'fever' blush to compliment her creamy 'porcelain-like' complexion.

Her simple but 'baby sweet' dress is made of BLUE cotton batiste fabric and French val lace and silk ribbon trim. She wears her original blue and white wool crochet booties.The entire outfit is complete.
 
The historical value and short production run lend this little cutie all the desirable characteristics of a highly collectible doll. Truly a RARE find for any collector of Horsman or composition dolls.
