Sherbrooke Fair ceramic figurene with short brown, fuzzy hair glued to a ceramic doll. It is painted with huge black eyes and lengthy eyelashes, red lips and a yellow dress and base. Fern Souther apparently wrote on the bottom of the figure that it was from "Sherbrook Fair, 1923," adding, "He didn't guess my wgt." Sherbrooke is a town in the Province of Quebec and is spelled with an "e" on the end, although that isn't what is written on the bottom of the statuette.Context
