Antique 22-inch German bisque head doll by Kestner, mold 139, offered as a restoration project.

This doll features a beautiful bisque head with blue working sleep eyes, finely painted eyebrows and lashes, an open mouth with teeth, and a later replacement acrylic wig. The original leather body is present but has extensive age-related deterioration, making this an excellent candidate for restoration or display.

Features:

* Genuine Kestner mold 139 bisque head

* Approximately 22 inches tall

* Blue working sleep eyes

* Open mouth with teeth

* Replacement acrylic wig (Made in China tag present)

* Wrist inventory/collector tag dated 1990 included

Antique leather body with sawdust stuffing. The body exhibits age-related wear, repairs, and wear to the knee joints. The originality of the body and limbs has not been verified, so buyers should examine the photographs and make their own determination.

Condition:

* Extensive damage to the original leather body including tears, holes, splits, and surface wear.

* Replacement acrylic wig is not original to the doll.

* I carefully examined the bisque head and did not observe any obvious hairlines, cracks, or repairs, but I encourage buyers to review all photos and ask any questions before purchasing.

* Sold as found and as a restoration project.

Please review all photos carefully, as they are part of the description. Additional photos are available upon request.
