- Wally F. Bohannon's scout sash and ribbons
- Wallace C. Bohannon's work gloves
- Tree angel
Appears to be a modified doll. Hair is painted silver with possible cigar band as crown. Dress hand sewn and wings cut from corrugated metal sheet. Toilet paper core slipped onto top branch. Perhaps this is an example of Esther re-purposing a broken doll for a new use. - Porcelain jointed doll, blue silk dress
From photos of Esther as a girl, it is clear she had many dolls. Was this hers or Kathy's? Dating it might provide an answer. Mom (Kathy) did say Esther made clothes for her dolls. This one is missing the lower part of a leg and has a crocheted hat and salmon colored bag. Silk dress is rotting. - Kathy's scout sash, other half
- Kathy's baby coat and cap
Found in same small suitcase that contained Kathy's baby shoes. Seems too big for a doll, particularly the ones in the case. Also in very good condition and not at all dating to the early 1900s, as one from Esther's childhood would need to be. - Kathy Bohannon's scout sash.
- Kathleen Bohannon's first shoes
Label reads "KJB first shoes" in Esther's hand writing - Jointed porcelain doll, boy in suit
Esther's keepsake suitcase. Doll of Esther's? Suit is hand-made, but leather shoes that have nearly disintegrated must have come with the doll. White knitted cap seems to be for a different doll. It appears too large for either of these complete dolls. - Jointed porcelain and composition doll, blue silk dress
Esther's keepsake suitcase. Increasingly, I believe these dolls are likely Esther's rather than Kathy's. Mom showed me her prized bride doll but never spoke of these. Further, the wear and deterioration make them appear older. - IMG_3574.JPG
- Fine lace doll cap
Found in small suitcase of keepsakes, possibly assembled by Esther Bohannon. According to Jan, this is hatpin work, so named because it could be done with hatpins. The work comes together quickly and was seen as an inferior alternative to crochet. It would seem, therefore, very suited for making a cap for a baby doll. Wish I knew which grandmother or great grandmother made it. - Esther Bohannon's cosmetic jar
Esther's Makeup Jar Found in a box of keepsakes labeled by Kathy. Similar to ones seen in turn-of-the-century catalogues. - Doll's head, Esther's or Kathy's. Probably composition
- Doll's head, Esther's or Kathy's. Probably celluloid
