Despite it's height of only 13
1/2" ( 34cm ) this Kestner googly appears much larger due to it's large head
circumference and fat toddler body with straight wrists. The head is incised
" F. made in Germany 10 J.D.K. 221 " and has huge brown glass stationary
eyes ( original setting ) which look down and glance to the left. She has a
wide smiling " watermelon slice " closed mouth and yellow eyebrows with a
slight enameled glaze . The body is original and has fine original finish
with slight discoloration from age. She is wearing a beautiful antique ash
blond mohair wig with original orange hair ribbon bow, and antique scarlet knit dress with green trim, as well as
canvas shoes ( old but not as old as the doll ). If one could only have one
googly this would be the one!
US$ 8,950.

This 14 1/2" ( 37cm ) toddler from Cuno and Otto Dressel- Simon Halbig is
incised " 1488 SIMON & HALBIG 6 " with a diamond shaped cut out on the back
of the head, an open/closed mouth (but no teeth showing ), pale blue glass sleep eyes, painted upper and lower lashes and feathered eyebrows,
with deep indentations in the modeling around the sides of the eyes and
eyelids. He is on an unusual antique German composition toddler body which
is jointed at the knees, hips ( typical toddler diagonally cut joints ) and
one piece curved arms, all parts original to this unique body. Wearing the
original bobbed ash blond mohair wig and an antique white cotton gauze and
lace boys dress, and slightly newer white cloth shoes and white cotton
socks, he is indeed a lovely cabinet sized version of this always popular
doll and is actually harder to find one in this cute size than it is to find
the much larger examples. US$ 4,450.
