Jig dolls are traditional wooden or tin-plate toys for adults or children. They are dolls with loose limbs that step dance or ‘jig’ on the end of a vibrating board or platform in imitation of a real step dancer. In London they were frequently operated by street entertainers or buskers. In England old soldiers from the Great War sometimes busked with them to supplement their meagre war pensions.[1] Typically the dolls are between 20–30 cm (8–10 in) tall and are jointed at arms, hips and knees some also have ankle joints.[2] Today, jig dolls of one kind or another can be seen in the USA, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Europe.
