I lived in West Berlin during the 1970s (Cold War era) and took full advantage of the opportunity to collect dolls from all over Europe at that time. I had a special affinity for hand-made and folk art dolls.

All  of these have been safely stored, neither played with nor displayed. They are all in pristine condition.

, and that is why I have listed them as new.

But now it is time to downsize.

When I first saw this doll, it made me think of American folk art, but it was in fact made in Germany. It a rare moment, I decided to pencil in a "face" of sorts....a new collector could erase if so desired  She stands.11.25 inches tall and is in immaculate condition due to careful storage. It is hard to believe she is almost 50 years old....true vintage and soon to be an antique.
