This is a 10.5-inch bisque head doll by the Peter Scherf Company, Germany, featuring a leather body and possibly original clothing and hair. The mark "Germany P.Sch 1899-9 1/2" is embossed on the back of the head. The doll has glass sleep eyes, now fixed in place, painted facial features, open mouth with teeth, and a light blond wig. She is dressed in an elaborate lace-trimmed yellow dress with blue ribbon and matching hat, blouse, undergarments, and cloth shoes. There is notable wear to the leather body, particularly on the arms and feet, consistent with age. This offering highlights a classic collectible from a known German maker. **Shipping Notice: Due to the delicate nature of the doll's sleep eye mechanism, any shipped doll will arrive with the wig and skull cap removed, and the eyes secured to help minimize the risk of damage during transit. Please expect this if you require shipping. Because of the additional time and care required to prepare the doll for safe shipment, an additional handling fee may apply. These dolls are exceptionally fragile, and while we take the greatest care in packing and securing every item, shipping always carries an inherent risk. By requesting shipping, you acknowledge and accept the possibility of damage that may occur during transit.
