Beautiful 24" Simon & Halbig German Bisque doll

Dolls : Antique : German

 

This S&H doll has one of the sweetest faces I've seen! Her coloring is wonderful. Her eyes are a beautiful blue and are in their original eye set. The wax eyelids are also original and are in wonderful condition. She has pierced ears and is wearing coral colored earrings. She stands 24" tall and is on a marked German composition ball jointed body. I believe it's a Heinrich Handwerck body, but can't make out most of the lettering, other than Germany, clearly. There is no mold number, just a size number, 9 1/2. Her clothing is antique and consists of a 'onsie', a white cotton skirt with hand tatted edging along the hem. Her blouse is also antique with hand tatted trim around the neckline, tight cuffs and 'mutton chop' sleeves. Around her waist is a white silk ribbon, with a matching bow in her auburn, human hair wig. She is also wearing black wool stockings, and cute little suede paper shoes.

Condition: Her head is free of cracks, hairlines and chips. There are no chips around her eyes. I see one very tiny flake around one of the holes in her pierced ears...I had to use a magnifying glass to find it, so it is very, very tiny. Her body is original and some of the composition is flaking. The worst part being on one calf, which I've shown in one of the pictures. She has all her fingers and toes. There are numerous stray hairs in my photos, which look like lines on her face and forehead. These are only stray hairs, and not cracks. She has a very minor cheek rub on one cheek. She truly is a beautiful antique bisque doll, by one of the premier German makers.
