1/2 dolls

Article Abstract:

'Half-dolls' were porcelain half-figurines that topped tea cozies, trinket boxes, whisk brooms and lamp shades, but were never used as playthings or dolls. These attractive collectibles were made from the 1920s to the 1950s, and most sell for about $20 to $100.

Cabinet cards

Article Abstract:

Cabinet cards are 4.25-by-6.5-inch photographs that were produced between the American Civil war and the end of the 19th century. They rarely identify the portrait's subject, but are useful for studying costume or hair styles.
