SABA Bucherer Articulated Female Character Doll Switzerland 1920s Needs TLC
Item History & Price
Bucherer female measures approximately 7 ½” in height. She is anarticulated metal character figure with a composition head, hands, and shoes that wasmanufactured in Switzerland and marketed under the name "SABA" dolls circa 1921. She is incised on her silver metal chest "Made in Switzerland Patents Applied For." As you can tell form the photos, she will need TLC! With the exception of her silver chest, her metal jointed arms and legs have become thoroughly ru...sted with age and will require restoration. She has all of her body pieces though. The right front side of her composition neck is also chipped, her left hand is missing its bottom "fingers" portions, and her shoes are flaked, more notably along her toes. Paint is missing from her hair as well. Her joints bend fairly tightly with the exception of her right lower knee and leg which are "swingy." Her composition parts are also dirty, more notably her head. If you are skilled in the restoration of early Bucherer dolls, she may become your next project! I do not know which character she represents. She is being sold "as is" and in need of tender loving care!
