    Hello all. I bought this odd little 1/2 doll at the TS today. Altogether it is just over 1 foot long. 5" for the porcelain doll part and 7 inches of fringe. It has a tassel on either side and one on the head. I have seen the pin cushion 1/2 dolls. But this I don't think would work for that. I also thought of a fan pull, but there is nothing to attach her with. She is well done and very detailed with a necklace, (loose) and a beaded flapper headpiece. (attached but separate). On the inside there is some sort of coiled up plastic(?). I see nowhere to attach her to anything. Any information or input is welcome. I'm stumped on this one.
    Thank You!

    Quick search lead to Tassel Doll. Seem they could be set on a stand. Take a look. I saw lots of examples.

    I don't remember ever seeing one of those before. Certainly look 1970s.

    She's very cute! Some that I saw had loops on the head to hang from a Christmas Tree. Looks like they're just for fun and decor.

    Would she sit on the top of the handle of a toilet plunger? Might as well put her to work. Would also make a b*tchin' cat toy.

    Thank you all! I have never heard or seen a Tassel Doll before. From what I can see.....she needs some sort of stand. The inside part looks kind of funkey to me. I thought maybe it was something rolled up and stuck in there (Treasure map maybe?) lol.
