Here is a sweet large 9 1/4 inch antique Hertwig Limbach all bisque baby doll and pair of large perfect Kestner bisque baby doll legs. The bisque baby boy was made by the Hertwig Limbach Company, Germany, manufacturing dates from the 1850's thru the 1930's. He is incised on his back: GERMANY 5660 / I, with the clover logo beneath. He has a clean break to the top of his head (pictured) that has been stabilized with a precisely fitted hard cloth pate, and a tiny h...airline on the chin. It is a very stable but significant repair. A cute vintage page boy mohair wig is fixed to the pate. He displays adorably in his little vintage jammies, so I never had the heart to use him for parts. But his large chubby arms and legs are in excellent condition with all fingers and toes in tack, with just a minor fleabite at a leg joint and ding to one calve (pictured).
The larger sized classic Kestner baby doll legs with wonderfully naturalistic details - fabulous creases and dimples and trademark expressive life-like curled toes, are a perfect hard to find pair. With a soft tape measure the curved length is approx 5 inches. They are marked 11 J 9.
