This is an antique German Deposition #3 doll, marked Germany on the back of the bisque head. Commonly attributed to makers such as Simon & Halbig, Kestner, or Heinrich Handwerck. The doll measures 12 inches tall with a kid leather body, fixed blue glass eyes, open mouth with teeth, and pierced ears for earrings. The original pantaloons are sewn on and additional clothing pieces are included. There is an evident repair to the face with visible crack lines, as shown in the images. The kid leather arms and legs display some wear and staining. Overall, the doll presents with visible repairs and age-related wear. **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.
