This is an antique doll made in Germany probably in mid to late 1800s. The body is jointed and made of soft kid leather and is stuffed with what appears to be cork. The body style is consistent with similar dolls made by Armand Marseille. There is an indistinct number that appears to be 102 printed on the belly, which was used by Armand Marseille and several other 19th century German doll makers. The head and hands may be a composite material and the feet are cloth. The doll has an adorable face, that I have not seen other examples of. Her hair is moulded brown and a bit curly and no ears are showing. The head has hand painted hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, and lips. The eyes close when doll lays back and they appear to be made of wood and the irises are painted brown. The mouth is open and shows two white teeth. The head extends as plates over the upper chest and back. The doll is about 18 inches long. The doll has on antique clothing, including a blue striped smock, a white linen under dress, and white pantaloons. This antique doll has beautiful features and displays nicely. She is something of a mystery as to who made her, perhaps because she is so old (it has always been in my family). She is in relatively good condition with no major damage. There is some tape around the leg joints which appears to have been used to prevent the cork from leaking out of the joints. The tape is not being used to hold it together. The cloth feet have some holes. The head has some scuffs. The clothing is in good condition except the pantaloons which have some holes. The sale is for the doll plus the clothing.
