The Carnival Train Playthings:

Recovered from: Esbee & Crow's Traveling Carnival train car, 1957

Recovered from a derelict circus train car long forgotten on a quiet stretch of sidetrack, these small dolls were once handed out as prizes to children who laughed beneath the striped tents. Their painted smiles remain, though time has left tiny cracks across their faces. Some say the dolls still carry the echoes of carnival music and the whispers of children. Each bears a name remembered from faded prize lists tucked into the train’s strongbox, now matched once more with the doll who waits to be claimed...

Each doll has been carefully restored from vintage gift shop inventory, then reimagined with a haunting new story. Fractured Playthings arrive dressed in hand-dyed/distressed clothing, with standing dolls accompanied by their own display stand. A custom story tag is tied to the wrist, marking its place in history. Every Fractured Playthings price includes insured shipping within the United States -
