LOD Enterprises / Barszo Molly Pitcher.

 Recast "Molly Pitcher"  figure from a Barszo American Revolution playset. There are a lot of issues with the clothing including the "French Maid" apron. 



Here is my conversion with the figure wearing a short gown and a damaged  skirt. I replaced the resin ramrod staff with a 1/16" brass rod.  The legend of Molly Pitcher was that she was serving a cannon at the Battle of Monmouth, taking up her husband's place on the gun when he either was killed or fainted in the heat. Sgt. Joseph Plumb Martin in his book Memoir of a Revolutionary Soldier tells of a women serving a cannon and surviving a cannon ball passing between her legs.
