From the A S Oaks estate comes this Rare 16 German collaboration between wagner and Zetsche and Gebruder Heubach. The head bares both marks as well as her mold # 10566 up by the crown. There are no cracks or chips to the bisque head. She has blue sleep eyes and her original mohair wig. Research shows Wagner and Zetsche made the bodies for Gebruder Heubach and this is typical of the body of Heubach with composition lower arms and legs. There is a crack or repair to left foot. She is wearing a very pretty blue dress with white trim and a full slip and bloomers. These clothes are newer but appropriate. She has antique socks and vintage shoes. Please review all photos and ask questions. She will be insured.
