$624.99

Up for offer is a wonderful estate find, a rare vintage Lenci doll from the 900 series! This series has uniquely designed legs and was only made for three years between 1927-1930. She measures about 14 inches tall and has a swivel head with brown oil-painted side-glancing eyes, great lashes, accented nostrils, and closed mouth with accented lower lip. Her face is beautiful with lovely coloring. Her hair is mohair and is soft and lovely. Her felt body has jointed shoulders and floppy-jointed legs. Overall she is in excellent condition for her age, with the big exception being that she has a significant amount of felt loss to the back of her left leg. She also has a tiny black mark on one of her thumbs, and a black mark on her chest.

She comes wearing her original pale green organdy dress with rows of organdy ruffles and felt flowers, organdy bloomers, a onesie, and green felt shoes with socks. There is a tear to the ruffles in the front of the dress and it is a bit dusty and yellowed with age, but overall her clothing is in nice condition. The felt flowers are just beautiful. There are two cute pockets in the front of the dress that she can put her hands in. I didn\'t remove her undergarments or her shoes because I don\'t think either have ever been removed. Her bloomers are secured to her body with a couple of stitches in front.

Please take a close look at the many photographs for the best idea of this doll and her condition. I\'m not a Lenci expert, so if I missed something important to you, please feel free to ask. This lovely and rare Lenci model will make a wonderful addition to any collection!
