This is a Kestner #146 German bisque head doll, measuring 30 inches tall. The doll features sleepy brown glass eyes, an open mouth with four teeth, and a kid leather body with leather over wood arm construction. The doll retains a paired brown wig and comes with a red floral print dress, three pieces of white undergarments, and a large red bow. The black shoes and black stockings are glued or fastened on. Articulation is present in the joints. Condition shows signs of age, surface wear, possible repairs or restoration, and soiling mostly at the joints and back of the legs. Markings are impressed to the back of the head. Please review images for specific details regarding cosmetic condition. **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.
