Description: | This early 20th century painted wooden doll was used as an advertising aid by Edison & Swan United Electric Light Company. Known commonly by its trade name Ediswan, the company was established in Enfield in 1912 and was a leading manufacturer of electrical goods, including the thermionic radio valve. This Ediswan doll would have been used as part of a window display. The hands, which include small slots along the bottom, were likely to have held a small advertisement and the doll's hat is fashioned to resemble the Ediswan radio valve. Around 1933, the doll was given to the donor by her father who had previously worked for Ediswan. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Enfield Museum Service | Rights holder: | Enfield Museum Service | Subjects: | Work | Source: | Enfield Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
