Antique 20 German KR Simon & Halbig 121 Black Character Baby Doll
This 20-inch (50 cm) character doll features a genuine antique bisque head fitted with a highly sought-after, functional “flirty eye” mechanism. Head Markings:The back of the head is clearly incised with the authentic KR six-pointed star logo, followed by “SIMON & HALBIG”, the mold number “121”, and the size marking “50” at the base of the neck. Features & Mechanism:Flirty & Sleep Eyes: The gravity-driven eye mechanism is fully intact and functional. The eyes successfully sleep (open and close) when laid down, and they smoothly “flirt” (move side-to-side) when tilted from left to right. Expression: Features the classic molded open mouth with two tiny porcelain upper teeth and a beautifully molded tongue. The Left Eye: Please note there is visible age-related surface deterioration/crazing to the outer lens/iris covering of the left eye, causing a cloudy, textured appearance. Crucially, the internal metal rocker mechanism remains fully functional and moves smoothly despite this cosmetic surface wear. It is an excellent candidate for professional cleaning or restoration. Body & Outfit: The doll features a soft body with porcelain hands and legs. She comes dressed in a vintage/modern red-and-white gingham checkered dress with lace trim.
