Replace stuffing on leather-body dolls?
Hi out there;
I have recently acquired a pair of older (probably 1910s-1920s) metal- head dolls with pin-jointed leather (or leather-like) bodies. They are not in the greatest condition and are leaking the stuffing (which I think is sawdust) in a few places; it smells kind of funky and I suspect that it has been mouldy at some point, although it is perfectly dry now. So I'm thinking of remove the stuffing, cleaning the bodies a bit, and restuffing. Questions: 1) any particular reasons why this is or is not a good idea, and 2) should I use sawdust to restuff, and if so, what kind and where do I get it? I'm assuming the sweepings from the local Home Depot aren't the best choice here. Thanks, JRB |
