The black is hard to get a picture of but this head is 6 1/2" tall and was made in Germany. It has 3 sew holes. I believe there is an old body under the new one as I can feel something very hard and think it's the old body recovered. I'm not going to take her apart so you get her as is. The head is a big head. The doll is now 28" with new china arms and legs. The value is in the unusual early head. The head has a fairly plain hairdo with snood in the back. At one time there was gold for accent but it has all been rubbed off. She has brushmarks all around the face. She has delicate coloring and painted blue eyes. This may be referred to as the Alice hairdo as she has a black headband across the top of the head. Part of her ears are exposed. She has the line between the lips and an open oval painted inside each nostril. She has the red dots at the eyes and the red line above the eyes. There is some rub to the paint in the back but not bad. You can see she has the deeply shoulders with the deep slope. There is a pretty good picture of this type head in The Art of Dolls 1700-1940 by Madeline Osborne Merrill on page 112. She is from a smoke free environment. The one picture shows her old clothes that someone made at some point in time. It has puffed sleeves and a bussle in the the back. There is a top and then the skirt. The material is shredding but it comes with the doll. If you can love her, please bid. Buyer to pay $20.00 for U.S. shipping, insurance, and handling. Thanks for ...
