Early Kestner or Simon Halbig # 1a-x Mystery Doll Antique Bisque Head German
(or Simon & Halbig). Lovely Shoulder-Head Mystery Doll. Incised Marks “1a” and “x”. Made in Germany – circa Late 19th Century. Bisque Head / Gusseted Kid Leather Body – Stands Approx. 17.5 Tall This is a real cutie! An 18 lovely shoulder-head doll. She has blue paperweight set eyes and a sweet pookie face. Her lovely impish look makes it hard to take your eyes off her. She has a gusseted kid leather body and a very soft, pale braided blond mohair replacement wig. She is dressed in a very old, finely-made soft teal antique wool skirt that has a belt and inset pockets! Her handmade blouse, with stitched aqua touches, is really stunning, and brings her outfit together. For added beauty she is wearing a fringed black silk shawl and black boots. Her chatelaine is a part of her skirt, and on it hangs a fan (that opens) and pin cushion of sorts. This doll will not disappoint. She reminds me of a blonde Snow White doll. The following props are not included: Doll Stand. Beautiful antique condition — from a non-smoking environment. The kid body is in great shape, and so are all the bisque components. No cracks, hairlines, etc. She’s a little shelf angel! IMPORTANT: Besides the noteworthy issues mentioned above, EXPECT any antique doll (bisque/composition/leather/china/wood) to ALSO have: (1) SIGNS OF AGE – for example: toned/crazed/chipped composition, minor wig pulls, loss of “hair” lashes on bisque heads, not-so-tight stringing, etc. (2) MINOR CONSERVATION WORK by previous owners/collectors – for example: reset eyes in most cases! , repairs to wig, repairs to clothing, touch-ups on composition/finish/paint, etc. Any MAJOR issues — hairline crack, total repaint, etc. – would be itemized above, but these normal age/conservation details are not. They are to be expected. I’LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER. Provided it’s rated the same (or faster) than the service you chose. If you live in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, or U. Message me to see whether there may be a cheaper alternative using Priority Post — depending on the size and value of your parcel. And provided the items can travel safely in the same box. WHAT, NOTHING TO COMBINE! ? (opens in a separate window/tab)… Where you’ll find more top-quality antiques/collectibles/artwork/dolls/and more! Significantly not as described: A. Flaw or discrepancy vs. What was stated in the listing. As often happens, it’s the few bad apples out there who ruin it for the rest of us. Not knowing what they’re doing. And then, when they realize they’ve ruined the doll, they return it saying it was defective. BUT HAVING SAID ALL THAT.. I do bend over backwards, attempting to disclose any noteworthy condition issues I can find or think of. But these are antique and vintage dolls — so, please understand that they won’t be in brand-new condition. There will always be some minor indication of their age, and it would be impossible to itemize every single pinhead-size stain on the outfit, or hairline scratch on the body. Please expect these types of conditions with old dolls. IT CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION. This item is in the category “Dolls & Bears\Dolls, Clothing & Accessories\Dolls & Doll Playsets”.
