My usual basic description with all the needed details, none of the flowery sales pitch stuff. She was first manufactured in 1889. She can sit or stand well. She has pierced ears but no earrings. She has an antique brown human hair wig. Her mouth is open with 4 teeth. The lips are perfect. Tiny paint rubs are present on both cheeks. Her brown sleep eyes are antique glass but not original to the head. There is a miniscule chip on the right upper eyelid, taking out the base of one eyelash. There is a line showing up on the back lit photo on the back of the head. I think this is a manufacturing flaw, not a hairline crack. I have included other photos, inside and out of this area. I don’t believe it is a repair. I can feel the line that is seen as a raised area of the bisque. I don’t see any other signs of repair. The “n” in Germany is still there even though this mark goes through it. The entire word is barely visible. All the markings are relatively faint, suggesting the mold was old and had been used many times. Please look at photos and decide for yourself. If someone more expertise can comment, I would appreciate it. S 12 H 1009. The body tightly strung, fingers intact, not repaired. It is not stamped. It has the usual scuffs and markings. It is not original to the head. There is a minimal amount of chipping on the left heel. I don’t know how old the fabric is but the dress itself is not an antique. It is well made and in perfect condition. She is wearing a peach colored silk 2 piece outfit. The silk has a paisley print on it. The dress is simple sleeveless drop waist with pleated skirt. Lace trims the collar. There are 3 mother of pearl buttons. It is not lined. The jacket is buttoned down the back. Antique style lace is across the bottom. There is an embroidered insert into the V front, ending in a big bow. She has reproduction cotton socks, reproduction leather shoes, satin modern panties and an antique slip. She is wearing a bonnet that works well, although not part of the original outfit. She has reproduction cotton socks, and faux leather shoes. Her panties are vintage satin. She does not have a slip. Please look closely at all pictures. They are part of the description. I cannot combine this with wigs or straw flowers. Many of these have been put together with parts bought separately over years. I describe to the best of my ability. FOR PACKING I USE CLEAN PLASTICS THAT CAN BE RECYCLED, NOT NEW PACKING MATERIALS. THE BOX/PACKING MAY NOT LOOK PRETTY BUT SECURE. THESE MATERIALS MAY BE PLASTIC MILK CARTONS, NEWSPAPERM EMPTY FOOD PACKAGES, ETC. THE HEAD IS WRAPPED IN EITHER NEW OR USED BUBBLE WRAP.
