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
