Bangwell Putt

Bangwell Putt circa 1770

Meet Bangwell Putt, a doll that was made by a relative for a Miss Clarissa Field of Massachusetts in around 1770.

This is the oldest known doll in USA.

She is in remarkable condition for her age, many dolls don’t survive because the natural fibres disintegrate over time.

We hope that stored in the right conditions she will last for a long long time.

Just imagine that someone lovingly hand made her and Clarissa played with her, possibly handing her down to her children and grandchildren and now more than 200 years later Bangwell Putt is still around, and in such great shape!
