Here's a sweet little carved hair Schoenhut child with an endearing and friendly expression. Her bobbed hairdo is painted a pumpkin auburn, she has light, painted brown eyes, a chubby little nose, and painted lips having a row of teeth in between, carved and painted ivory. There is expert, possibly Schoenhut factory paint touch-up to most of her face and neck that is only noticeable when a black light is used. There is also some repaint on her hands that shows up when lit. She has the fully jointed wood body that firmly holds any pose. Her 1920's style clothing is made with older fabrics and she wears vintage socks and antique leatherette shoes.

A diminutive French candy container commemorating an important day. He is a young boy with head of paper mache, with painted features and hair on what looks to be his First Communion or Confirmation Day. Not only is he holding a tiny prayer book or Missalette in his left hand but he is also holding a candle up in his right hand. Hi s costume consists of a white shirt with large rear collar and navy blue wool trousers, with the candy box opening at the waist.

In the ever excelling world of Barbie, whether you may be an aficionado or a novice collector, the top tier of valuable and desirable examples is of course the Nos. 1 and 2. But the No. 3, like this one, is certainly a member of that early, exclusive club due to her importance in the evolution of the doll into the next realm. She looks different with her less exotic application of make-up, however she retains many of the features found on her earlier, more rare and valuable sisters. The body material, hairstyle, hair type, presentation, stand and packaging is still very linked to the No. 2 doll, who is exactly like the No. 1, except for the stand and how it is secured.

After that, many things began to change and the doll continued its expansive journey into the playrooms of girls around the globe. It is nice to find this one in her original “R” marked box that bears her 850 number and the word “Blond” to signify her hair color. She also has her striped bathing suit, her booklet, appropriate early stand, sunglasses, and pair of white, slip-on shoes. Her hair is soft and in nice, abundant condition and her make-up and nails look very good, except for a bit of eyeliner that has rubbed off of the right lid. She has no odor, no green at the ears and needs a pair of earrings. Go Barbie!
