This cloth doll designed by Portia Sperry in 1933 might have made many kids happy on Christmas morning. The doll was named after Nancy Hanks, mother to Abraham Lincoln, and dressed in a print dress, apron, and sunbonnet.

Sperry worked with a network of local farmwomen in her rural Indiana community during the Great Depression. A charismatic entrepreneur, Sperry persuaded the Marshall Field department store in Chicago, Illinois, to sell the dolls and the Quaker Oat company to donate boxes for shipping them. Her efforts brought thousands of dollars to the women of Brown County, Indiana.

Did you play with a doll like this one as a kid? (And did you name it after a presidential mom?) #HolidayGift #HistoricToys #HistoricDoll #ChicagoHistory #HolidayHistory #Christmas2016 #BusinessHistory
