Description
23-inch all originally dressed ethnic girl, maybe Czech, Polish or Romanian with composition head and cloth body circa 1930, maybe earlier; she is unmarked.Head: Her head is the only composition. On her face, the condition of the composition is fair in my opinion. On the front, it is pretty much what you might expect, some cracks around eyes, all around crazing on face. The condition of the composition on the back of her head is poor under her brown human hair wig. Please see photos as I tried to capture it. Her human hair wig is still glued only in front so I lifted the hair in back to show her head under the wig.
Body: Her cloth body is is good condition; it has some discoloration on the legs, but no rips or holes. The fingers are detailed with stitching and she still holds a little handkerchief because it is stitched to her hand.
Clothing: Her original clothing has remained with her because it is stitched onto her cloth body. The red satin skirt has some holes here and there; her lace-edged aqua floral apron is in good condition as is the bolero jacket. She has oil cloth lace-up boots that tie. Underneath, she has a woven half slip and her muslin panties also stitched to her burlap cloth torso.
I'm starting her at very low price so you can decide what she is worth; her clothing should be a positive deciding factor if you find her interesting.
She weighs 4 pounds packed in her shipping box. No returns please. Thank you.
