<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> Early Germany Child VIII Kathe Kruse Doll</em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> This is an early cloth doll made by the Germany manufacturer Kathe Kruse. This doll is 20 1/2" tall and has the turning head. She is referred to as the "German Child". What a face! Her eyes are so expressive. Her left cheek down low appears to have a smudge so don't know if there is repaint. There is a spot on her forehead where it has paint off and has been repainted. Her wig is hand knotted. It is pulled to the back and tied with a ribbon. There are some red marks on her left foot but I'm guessing it was a number but I can't make it out. The other foot has nothing on it. The right foot has a worn spot on the heel and the sole. The shoes are marked 5 and appear to be like Kathe Kruse shoes I have seen in the past. They have holes in the top and a metal piece to put the strap through. Not sure of age to them. There are a few stains on the body and on her left leg thee is a worn spot above her knee. You can see the cotton stuffing but it is not coming out. It's about 1/4". She has some discoloraton and stain to the arms and both have few worn spots so as to make holes. Again they are not large but there. I am not an expert on these dolls so don't know if there as been any touch up to her or not. So you be the judge. She will look nice on your shelf. The old dress is what she came in so I have left it on her. I think it looks cute. The one piece underwear is nylon material and was a later addition by someone. What a piece of history she is. If you can love her as she is, please ...
