I am not a doll expert so I could be wrong about any or all of this, but to the best of my knowledge and research:
- This is an older 18" Kestner shoulder head doll
- Kid leather body
- Brown glass eyes that I think are fixed (I hear no moving parts inside the head)
- The head is marked 7 1/2 on the back in two places, with no other marks
- Antique leather shoes
- Dress, slip and pantaloons are not original but the slip and pantaloons appear to be older than the dress
- Might be the original wig and pate (they are glued on tightly)
- Beautiful face with big rosy cheeks
The stand is included if you would like it, so please let me know. It will be shipped face down with ample packing.
Condition (please view all photos and let me know if you have any questions): Fracture on back of head; eyelids have chips; tear on one leg that I have put a piece of linen tape over as a temporary fix; a fingertip is broken on one hand and the thumb on the other; underclothes have stains/tears; there is repair stitching on one shoulder; there is tape on the leather.. Please view all photos.
Thanks for looking! Combined shipping is available for
multiple purchases.
