Historical information

Celluloid dolls made in the 1940s. Morawa woman Mrs Neagle crafted their clothes and donated them for a fundraising raffle. When the raffle was drawn, Theda White of Merkanooka was announced as the winner. She kept the doll duo for years before donating them to the Morawa District Historical Society in 1974.
