From the toy isle of the nineteenth century trash pit

[villagenut]

Was digging shovel test holes on my favorite historical property and saw this dirty cat looking back at me. She is missing a leg and part of her tail, but hey...she's been buried for a long long time so what do you expect lol. Made from a two piece mold it is a heavy plaster composition...i think. I recently had found a bisque Charlotte doll and a clay marble here so this was kinda expected....well not really.It is all relevant for me because this property was settled early in my Counties history, before it was even a county. The folks who lived here are almost like family because I have studied up on them all as I have compiled a rather large book on my exploits here as I have unearthed much of their lost, discarded items that we call relics.I make every effort to tie an artifact to the people who lived in the vicinity and make a somewhat valid story about it all. To know the names of the children who likely played with such things as this dirty skinny cat just makes it that more special.There I go again, getting all sentimental again....

Nice find. A recent Charlotte doll too? The only Charlotte doll I know is Carolina Tom

Not really sure what it is made of. It is heavy for its size, looks a lot like porcelain glaze over a bisque
