RARE antique bisque doll penwipe - fountain pen wipe. Dates between late 1800's and early 1900's. Her arms are jointed and she is in very good condition and never used. Each felt pleat in her dress was to be used for wiping the pen tip. She measures 3 inches height.Early pens held a point that was dipped into an inkwell for use. But these dip pens dripped, so pen wipes were necessary. The wipe was made of a "sandwich" of fabric stitched together so the point could be wiped quickly on both sides. Many shapes and holders were made for pen wipes. Unusual ones are sought by collectors of both folk art and pens. Many pen wipes are hand-stitched layers of cloth cut into a circle. The creative housewife added a top piece that was often a stitched fabric animal or bird.I accept Paypal only please.
