This must have been a fascinating item to acquire in the day, as it was not only a wonderful character doll, a creative toy, an impressive gift item but it was, and remains to be, an awesome exhibition piece from the Kestner factory. It came in a few sizes, this one being in the smaller, 14" size doll. The full doll is a Kestner character 182 with painted eyes, with two of the extra heads being painted eye 179 and 183 molds, and the glass sleep eye head being a 171.
The 182 is on a fully jointed Kestner composition body and it wears it's original factory chemise, and all of the heads have their original mohair wigs and are contained in their separate compartments of the original display box. The outside of the box is covered with textured red paper and has the Kestner factory label on one end. The box was wear and part of the lid is missing on one side. No damage or repair to bisque.
