Kammer and Reinhardt 115A

Adorable Size and Presentation
$2,250. |
 |
Adorable
dressed as a girl too, the Kammer and Reinhardt 115A is one of the most
popular character molds that the company offered, this one having brown
glass sleep eyes, light, peachy bisque, an antique, medium brown mohair wig,
closed mouth with molded space in between lips, and having a fully jointed
K*R composition and wood, slant hip toddler body with slant hips.

The body finish is even, original and
in ultra clean condition. She is at play in her antique, bouncy, blue on
white striped cotton dress, with pinafore type bodice, and she has antique
undergarments, shoes and socks that have a hint of a blue border. Shall we
call her Phillippa instead of Phillip?

Simon Halbig "Santa" Sisters

Two 1249 Mold Girls
$795. for both |
 |
 |
They both have open mouths with
teeth and smooth, clear bisque with carefully painted features and softly
rouged cheeks. They are on fully jointed, high-quality composition bodies
with jointed wrists, and the brunette girl has some sort of adhesive tape
that was applied on the right foot. It isn't very visible so it was left,
so not to disturb the finish. Although their clothing is not original, at
some point someone gave these girls two fresh looking, matching dresses of
antique fabrics that suggest they are “sisters”, “cousins” or “best
friends” forever. Undergarments, shoes, socks and bonnets are antique.

Simon Halbig Person of the Cloth
14 1/2" |
 |
Early Period
$995. |
 |
 |
In
its original holy robes of many layers is this painted eye, Simon Halbig
bisque shoulderhead doll with short molded blond hair, painted eyes, cloth
body, bisque lower arms and legs. The cloth portion of the right upper arm
has had an applied mend to the cloth to avoid loss of sawdust filling.
|
 |
 |
The robe, tunic and cape of the
ensemble is of crème wool, with the cape having an applied crucifix on the
back, while the undergarments are of white cotton. From research on white
ecclesiastical robes, it can be determined that this may be a habit or
robes from the Dominican order. There is one original stocking/slipper
remaining, that has been attached to the skirt with a pin.

high-waisted dress with tiny attached flowers all around, accented by her
frilly cotton and lace bonnet. She wears antique shoes and socks that

beautiful bisque and shading, and an older, long strawberry blond human hair

hue from the arms, however this did happen in factories when parts were
pulled from the different bins of limbs. After you take in her adorable
party dress and matching bonnet made with anitque fabrics, check out her
unique undergarments that include cotton pantaloons, of course, then cream
silk stocking held up by a full body garter belt! Her polished leather,
