A drink and wet doll

Here is a small composition doll who arrived in pieces for re-stringing. She has a feature that was a novelty for a while. Check out her mouth....
There is a tube going from her mouth....
and down into her body. The tube has stiffened and broken with time.
The other end of the tube ends in her bottom.
This was a 'drink and wet' doll. Children could feed their doll a bottle of fluid which would travel through the tube and wet the diaper.
But this is a composition doll. Composition does not like water! Many of these dolls did not survive their feedings.
I will re-plumb the doll as I re-string her but no feedings allowed!
