WASHINGTON (AP) — Rose Percy has a long history with the American Red Cross. Complete with an extensive wardrobe and her own Tiffany jewelry, this 23-inch wax doll was first sold for $1,200 back in 1864 to benefit the U. S. Sanitary Commission, the precursor to one of best-known U. S. charities.

Now, Rose Percy, is on the auction block again.

Today, Percy will be sold in one of the first rounds of an extensive sale of treasures the American Red Cross has amassed over the decades. The Red Cross also is selling a rare four-faced Cartier clock lamp and nurse uniforms from World War I.

“There’s an opportunity for people to purchase a part of the Red Cross history and at the same time contribute to our humanitarian mission,” said Red Cross spokesman Roger Lowe. At a time when many companies are cutting back on such vast archival collections, the 128-year-old charity, he said, is asking itself, “Do I really need all of this?”

The charity has been working to erase a $209 million operating deficit. What once was a collection of more than 135,000 objects, images, books and film is being drastically scaled back. The online auctions began this month through Heritage Auction Galleries and will continue through February.
