Antique Simon & Halbig 23 " Baby Doll, Bisque Head, Composition Body, Flirty Eyes
Item History & Price
This listing is for an antique Simon & Halbig baby doll with a bisque head and a composition body. The number on the back of her neck is 156/12. She has glass brown flirty eyes that turn side to side. Her eyelids close when you lay her down.This little girl has some missing fingers and chipped paint on her left hand, and I glued a finger back onto her right hand. There is a crack in her face that extends across her left cheek. She has wear and some cracks and chipping in various places... on her body and limbs, and her left arm suffered some kind of impact that resulted in the pictured damage. Her stomach and upper chest have a couple spots of less severe impact damage. Some rattling can be heard in her right leg (most likely from internal chipping). Her body and limbs have yellowing that I originally thought was the result of someone spilling glue on her. However, online searches have yielded pictures of similar dolls with the same yellowing. Her mohair wig has darkened with age. I'm not sure whether or not someone trimmed it once upon a time. She no longer has eyelashes. She has a crier inside of her chest, and it still squeaks a bit when she's tilted. The doll comes in a bonnet, plaid dress, and romper-style undergarment. The dress and romper have the appearance of age, with staining and also some small tears in the dress. The bonnet seems newer than the rest of the outfit. She measures about 23 inches tall, with jointed neck, shoulders, and hips.
Please note: Colors in photos may differ slightly from those of the actual item, and terms for the names of colors can be subjective, depending on who is using them. What is teal to one person may be turquoise to another. I do my very best to describe items accurately, and please be aware that subtle differences of opinion as to the names of colors may occur.
Out of fairness to all prospective buyers, auctions must run their full length (unless a fixed price option is taken) and at their assigned price. No haggling, please.
If you have any questions or would like to see additional pictures, just let me know. :-)
Comes from a non-smoking home, though we do have pets.
International buyers: I am willing to ship internationally but will not participate in the Global Shipping Program. Please contact me to inquire about shipping costs prior to bidding. Thanks!
Payment is due within 24 hours after the close of the auction unless otherwise arranged. If it will take you longer to pay, just send me a message so I know not to open an unpaid item case. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. I will combine shipping for multiple items. :-)
