DESCRIPTION:This listing is for a lovely antique bisque head German Simon Halbig doll who needs her "ARMS STRUNG", the arms ARE NOT attached to the body. In the photos shown the arms are being held in the dress sleeves, the stringing in torn and needs replaced in both arms and re-attached and strung to the body. Incised on the back of her bisque head is "1079-0 DEP S & H Germany". Reference attributes her bisque head to being made by Simon & Halbig, 1900+, DEP is a regist...ered trade mark or claim used by both the German and French. Doll measures 9-1/2" tall she is a bisque socket head on wooden composition jointed body, she has straight wrists which makes it difficult to string the arms. Body shows overall wear, scuffs, for being 100 or so years old, I do not know if all body parts are original or if any restoration was made, this is how I purchased her. This doll has an absolutely "stunning" face with blue glass open and close sleepy eyes that work fine, painted lashes around the eyes, feathered brown brows, she has open mouth with upper teeth and wonderful coloring on her face. A high quality creamy bisque which Simon & Halbig is known for. She has pierced ears but is not wearing earrings. I flashed her head and do not see any cracks or hairlines, her blonde human hair wig slips over a pate on her head. Wig has a few hairs out of place, shows overall wear but is charming. She wears a blue hand made dress with hooks at the back, it is clean with a matching bonnet. She is wearing pantaloons, stockings and shoes. I have taken plenty of photos.
