Composition Repair and Sandals for Scootles

Circa 1920s composition Scootles by Cameo, designed by Rose O'Neill (the Kewpie doll designer), looks almost perfect, but she had a few issues.

For years, I've desired an original 1920s composition Scootles, but passed on the few I've seen for sale for various reasons. I knew eventually, the right one would find me.

After viewing her online pictures, she was almost perfect except for some troubling areas where the composition had separated at a seam and had lifted in a couple of other areas. After the seller discounted the original asking price for me, I decided to bring Scootles home, and I'm happy about that decision.

What was done to repair my adorable dimple-cheeked, double-chinned Scootles is captured in the video at the following link:

Scootles has been repaired and is wearing her new handmade sandals in this picture.

She is so adorable!  Each time I look at this little gem, I smile. She was so worth the wait.
