HARRY BARTILbF SAN rimncrsco, CALIFORNIA.

To all whom it may concern."

Be it known that I, HARRY EARTH, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to lmprovements in toys,and more particularly to toys of the.

doll type. ,7

One of'the objects of the present invention is to provide a toyof the above general character which may be inexpensively manu factured andisold and of such shape and general appearance as to portray. certain human characteristics, in one manneror' antion.

other.

iar characteristic or hobby'of the person to whom the doll might be presented, Other objects will be in part obviousand in part hereinafter pointed out; i i

The accompanying drawing illustrates several of the various possible'embodiments Fig. 3 is a similar view showinga modification, and p I Fig. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view showing a still further modification. I

The present invention as her i 1-11 Strata a b shows the head 5 of a doll in conventional form. 'It is to be understood however that this head and the body'to which it is attached maybe of any desired" size, shape and color, and dressed correspondingly to represent an old or young person, male'or female, white or colored, desired,

The principal featureof the-invention re sides more particularly in the countersunk recess or opening 6 appearingpreferably on the front of the doll across the forehead.

It may also occur on the back as inFig. 21

asindicated at 7. This may be anactual opening through to theinterior or a countersunk part adaptedrto be closed by a movable or hinged door 8 or bodily removable portion 9, as shown. in Fig. 4. The door may be opened in any desired Sway asbyknob} I 10, Back ofthis door or closure is-aview V Specification of Letters Patent.

11 marked to imitate'or illustrate a portion of; the human brain in the central; part of p which is depicted some article or son is most particularly interested. This thin idea is based on the assumption that almost every individual has such a hobby and for example one who devotes a large. part of his spare time vto golf will appreciate the I illustration shown in Fig. 1, while another being more interested in baseball; horse racing, art, music or then-likewould have.

uch hobby. illustrated in a somewhat similar and suitable manner. The VIEWS be n the form of cards 12 ofcelluloid or other flexible material, and of relatively largcf assortment, whereby they could be easily in serted in the countersunkportion and secured therein in. any desired manner according to fancy r Y i It is believed, hat the construction and objects'sought to be accomplished will be 'clear from the above description, and a fur ther statement thereof is doubtless, unnecessary.

I realize that considerable variation is possible in the details of the construction herein shown, and I dolnot intend to limit myself thereto, except as pointed out in the following claims, in which it is. my

intention to claim all the novelty inherent,

in the device as broadly as is permitted by the state of the art. e I 1 Having thus described my invention what .1 clannas new and desire to secure by Let' ters Patent is 1. An. article of the character described comprising a dolls head having a countersunk recess, a removable picture adapted to vbe placed therein, and a, cover forsaid recess fitting in said countersunk portion.

2, An article of the character described comprising a dolls head having recesses on the front and rear sides thereof, pictures adapted to be inserted in saidrecesses, and removable closures 'adaptedLtocOVer said picture and lie flusn with the surface of the head. g V a a i In test mony whereof I affix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
