Simon & Halbig 1249 DEP 17" Doll, 1889-1930

Updated August 6, 2026

This Simon & Halbig 1249 DEP doll stands 17 inches tall and dates from circa 1889-1930. It features a bisque head with brown glass sleep eyes, open mouth, pierced ears, and a paired blonde wig. The body is a composition type with ball-jointed limbs for extensive posing, showing surface wear and patina appropriate for its age. Notably, the doll has two missing fingers and is in need of restorative attention. The reverse of the head is marked "Simon & Halbig 1249 DEP" with the size "7 1/2." This doll is offered without clothing, making it a candidate for restoration or display as-is, and demonstrates a classic example of German doll craftsmanship from this era. **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.
