My usual basic description with all the needed details, none of the flowery sales pitch stuff.
PICTURES ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. Please look carefully. Please ask for more pictures if needed.
Stand included. The head will be stuffed to protect the eyes. The wig will only be partially replaced to allow you to remove the packing
This auction is for a 23" Cuno & Otto & Dressel. I believe this was made in 1912.
HEAD: She does not have hairline cracks.She has intact 4 front teeth, a dimple and original brown sleep eyes. The wig is a modern mohair auburn in the paige style.
MARKS: (as they appear on head)
Made in Germany
The cipher 4 pointed star
1912.4
BODY: The body is tightly strung. It can sit or stand.It is not original to the head. The hands have paint chipping off as seen in pictures and the bottom of the left heel has a hole in it. The rest is the usual dings that these older bodies have. It is not stamped.
CLOTHING
She has a vintage vs antique slip & panties. They are not a matched set.These are in very good condition, with a few stains. She has reproduction stockings. The shoes are reproduction French style. The 1 piece dress has a dropped waist with a waist band. It closes with buttons. It is not lined but seams are finished. A couple of pictures show a ribbon around her waist. I will send it if desired. I think she looks better without it.
I am not a professional dealer. I am selling my collection of 1000+ dolls, accumulated over 40 years. Many of these have been put together with parts bought separately over years. I describe to the best of my ability.
