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? |

The curtain is raised for this trio of German bisque and cloth stage character dolls in their elaborate and original theater costumes. We have two men, with pale bisque shoulder heads, blue painted eyes, rouged cheeks, original mohair wigs over their molded hair and both having molded moustaches and goatees, painted black. Their original silk costumes with covered buttons, metallic and lace trim reflect the Baroque, 1600’s period in Europe, and they are painstakingly detailed and in excellent condition. |

The lady also has a pale bisque shoulder head with rouged cheeks, blue painted eyes, a closed mouth and a black painted beauty spot on her right lower face. She too has her original mohair wig applied over her molded hair and her silk Baroque costume is highly detailed, with metallic and lace decoration, one covered button is missing, but is all original with its dramatic, long cape over the extended train of the gown.
|
 |
 |
The bodies are of densely stuffed muslin cloth with bisque lower arms and
legs, with the men having what is supposed to look light tall boots or
tights covering the legs. The
lady has her molded black boots exposed.
These would look wonderful in a stage or theater setting!
