    Description

    This big girl is 31 inches tall. She is a Kestner 164. Look at the  quallity of her bisque, the delicate features, the even tone of her painting. Top to bottom, she is
    great. Starting off, she has her intact mohair wig, not
    a
    lot of it, but as you can see, with a hat or cap on, the tendrils frame her
    face in a wonderful way.  She also has her original
    plaster pate, THAT
    HAS
    NEVER BEEN REMOVED. These dolls are so hard to find. Her face without flaw, with pale bisque and
    with those big brown
    sleep
    eyes. Open mouth with teeth. Another hint that this is an early doll is that her beautiful body is not
    marked, nor is there
    the
    term
    'dep' in her maker's marks. She has all of her fingers and toes. She is wearing an antique child's
    dress.
    She also has pantalettes. She wears socks and antique
    German
    shoes in good shape.
    Her marks are clear and deep:
    'Made in Germany, M, 15 3/4, 164'.  The photos are an essential part of the description.  Please ask questions early. Where on earth would you find an all original Kestner, except her clothes and shoes. Remember, with these big
    girls,
    they
    have increased shipping costs b/c of their weight. As
    always, you get a free gift with the purchase of a doll.
    I use all recycled materials  diapers, peanuts, bubble wrap, clean paper and strong boxes
    for shipping and I do know how to ship antique dolls – you will not receive an antique doll with broken eyes from me.
    Please be
    sure of your purchase, I do not accept returns.
