My Grandma's Doll and HMV Gramophone (2)

The case of the HMV gramophone is with hinged lid and the front set with two doors opening to reveal a record storage area, complete with a winder and a box of illustrated needle tin full of needles. The volume of the gramophone is controlled by the type of needles used (extra loud, loud, half tone or soft tone). I left the original gramophone belonging to my grandma in our house in Indonesia.

The china doll was made in Germany in 1890. When it was given to me, it had just been found locked in a cabinet in the storage for more than 50 years. By then the doll was not yet a complete doll (just the head and limbs).
I asked a friend to sew a body and a dress to match. We had never seen such a doll before. Apparently, the body made for her is too short for this doll since she was meant to have a caucasian body. The doll is then a combination of East and West, a parian doll with an Asian body, a multi cultural doll!
