RUTH bisque doll, possibly by Armand Marseille, measuring 22 inches. Features a full shouldered bisque head with an open mouth, teeth, and sleep glass eyes. The back of the head is incised with 'Ruth.' The doll has a kid leather body, with replaced cloth sections below the legs. Body exhibits surface wear, discoloration, and scattered marks. Bisque arms and hands are present. The doll is paired with a blonde wig, lace bonnet, pink and white dress, chemise, pantaloons, stockings, and leather shoes, all showing minor wear consistent with age. Sleep eyes mechanism intact. **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.
