- Antique Armand Marseille AMI DEP 370 Made in Germany 19" Doll ~ Bisque Head/shoulders ~ Saw Dust Stuffed Leather Kid Body with Original Victorian Clothing
- This lovely old doll is in need of much TLC, repairs and a good cleaning. Her coat is very fragile. I have not attempted to clean her or her clothing. I took the photos as I undressed her so you will see some sawdust debris in the photo from handling her. I wasn't even aware her head was cracked until I started undressing her.
- Crack on shoulder/neck/head from front to back (photo 10,11,12), Some tiny holes in leather where sawdust falls out but there is a larger hole (separation) at the one knee (photo 14). I put a piece of cellophane around that knee to prevent more sawdust from falling out. Her arms are loose/stretched. As for her clothing they are original Victorian clothing. The coat has much tears/rips/holes primarily to the outer black silk layer. The button are metal and have some strands of thread around them but most of the thread is missing. Her undergarments have no large tears or anything but there is much staining & discoloration. Her shoes are marked on the inside IMSCO.I did not attempt to remove her undershirt because I didn't want to damage the doll or clothing any further than what they are. Despite the damage to her coat that is the piece that completely drew my attention to her. The detailing in the construction of it is just amazing.
