Absolutely beautiful 53cm / 20.5in German antique bisque and composite doll with open mouth, 4 visible teeth, blue sleep eyes, and eyelashes. Doll comes dressed and with 2 wigs. This doll was made between 1902 and 1920, in a collaboration of two well renowned German doll manufacturers, K Star R and Simon and Halbig. Makers marks for both manufacturers are engraved on the back of the doll’s bisque head. The number 53 is engraved in the base of the doll’s head. This number refers to the size of the finished doll, 53 cm. This bisque head was observed both under black light and while illuminated from within. Small flaw along seam of back left ear. See photos for details. The dark shadows visible in the illuminated photo represent the presence and position of the support structure for the rare and hard to find sleep eye feature. Please remove this tissue paper with care to protect sleep eyes’ function. Doll comes with 2 vintage wigs, one blonde and one brunette. The blonde wig appears to be human hair.
