KESTNER GERMANY27-inch DOLL

Bisque Head & Composition Body with FullyJointed Limbs/Head

Blue Sleepy Eyes ~ 4 Upper Teeth

Marked GERMANY on back of head ~ Red stamp on lower back reads EXCELSIOR GERMANY 5 1/2

ORIGINAL underclothes, socks & kid leather shoes ~ Vintage dress & straw/lace hat

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BELOW:

Doll is in overall good pre-owned antique condition with light to moderate surface wear consistent with age/use.
Face is in beautiful condition with painted eyebrows, lips, red dots on interior of eyes and nostrils. Nice, rosy cheeks.
Four original upper teeth are in excellent condition.
Blue sleepy eyes function correctly and are in good shape.
Original wig is in good condition (could use a restyling) is still mostly glued to bisque head. I have not attempted to remove it.
There is a crescent shaped piece missing from the back of the head (See Photo #4). However, it DOES NOT affect the integrity of the head - it is not misshapen because the wig is securely glued to the head. There are no hairlines or cracks or other damage to the head. You can read the last 4 letters of GERMANY underneath the hair on the back side & what looks like two numbers afterward.
The index finger on the right hand is broken.
She has a few surface cracks and chipping, primarily in the left shoulder and foot areas. Nothing too drastic and doesn\'t detract from overall appearance.
Jointed limbs function correctly - strings are in good shape. One shoulder joint may have been replaced.
Original, soft kid leather shoes are in fair condition. The back seam on one has completely separated and they both show varying degrees of wear, especially on the soles, which are deteriorating. Still, they slip on and off (along with the socks) quite easily and the leather uppers are still amazingly soft after well over 100 years.
Original underclothes (chemise, underpants & slip) are in very good condition with a little discoloration on the chemise and a few VERY tiny holes in the drawers. No missing buttons.
Vintage period style dress is in overall very good condition and is likely several decades old (hooks/eyes may have been replaced more recently). Has a few VERY tiny holes that do not detract.
Coordinating straw hat with ribbon ties is in good condition with just a small tear in the lace underneath and wear to the ribbon ends. A few light spots on the fabric.
