Hermann Steiner #4 doll with a wood and composition articulated body. The doll has fixed blue glass eyes, an open mouth with teeth, and painted features. The head is marked "Germany HS 4 Germany." The blonde wig is styled with a ribbon, and the doll wears a period-appropriate pink checked dress, white eyelet pinafore, undergarments, stockings, and black shoes. Condition: The body exhibits notable surface wear, paint loss, and crazing, especially on the limbs and torso. Included are additional clothing items as shown. This example demonstrates the classic features of early 20th-century German doll craftsmanship. **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.
