C3This vintage box board Aunt Jemima cutout is meant for hanging, as illustrated by the ring attached to her head piece. She is wearing a dress with an apron, and has a rivet in her remaining foot. As the photos depict, her right leg is missing at about the knee. I think it won't show if she's hanging flat against the wall with the dress on.I believe t...he clothing was probably made by my mother sometime around the 1950s or 60s. That's just an educated guess. There is a paper cut out which I assume was used to make the clothing.The handmade clothing consists of a tie back apron with two lace top pockets. The apron is quite discolored and has a couple of moth holes.There is also a dress, blouse, and babushka, all of the same vintage strawberry-like pattern. To be more precise, the pattern is tiny white flowers on a red background, but it looks very much like a strawberry pattern.To wear under the dress is a slip with lace at the bottom of the Hem. This is somewhat stained, but not as bad as the apron.The slip and the dress have a place which may be intended for a snap to be added. I really don't know, but I took pictures of everything which should tell you more than I can.Picture 11 is just some scrap pieces of cloth that were in with everything else. I'll include them. All the fabric seems to be cotton to my limited knowledge.That said, please see all the pictures for a complete description, and thank you for your consideration.
