Ever popular googly from Hertel and Schwab incised " 165- 4 " with blue glass side glancing sleep eyes, closed smiling " watermelon slice " mouth and lovely pale bisque, mounted to a fully articulated German wood and composition toddler body with original finish. She has her original bobbed blond mohair wig and is colorfully costumed in an antique one piece orange and green trimmed crocheted dress with large pompoms securing the dress at the neckline and also dangling from the drop waist sash separating the bodice from the skirt . In addition she has an antique straw bonnet with silk ribbons and wears nice dark leather shoes ( newer than the rest of the costume ). She too at only 14" ( 35cm ) nicely fits into a cabinet and would be a wonderful slightly older sister or companion for the 173 Scots boy and is priced at ................US$ 4,850.

 

 

17" ( 43cm ) closed mouth character from Kley and Hahn incised " K&H ( in a banner ) 546 5 Germany " with brown glass sleep eyes, multistroke " flyaway ' eyebrows, tiny painted upper and lower lashes, with full lips and the hint of a smile, on the original fully jointed wood and composition body with original finish and stamped " Germany " in black on the back of the torso. Is well costumed in a two piece off white and navy blue sailor costume with lovely antique straw hat with indigo silk ribbon matching that of the costume, antique pale blue leather shoes , and a beautiful antique auburn mohair wig. She also is a mere fraction of her true value and should not last long at the price of .................US$ 3,850.

 

 

How can one resist this charming googly from Hertel and Schwab incised " 173 - 1 " with brown glass side glancing sleep eyes, smiling mouth with distinct upper lip, excellent pale bisque, and on a fully jointed German wood and composition toddler body with fine original patina? This mold number is far less frequently found than many of the other Hertel and Schwab googlies and sports an original dark blond bobbed mohair wig, red antique leather shoes, and a period factory made costume of printed cotton plaid Scots boy kilt and blue felt jacket and matching hat trimmed in the same material as the kilt. He is only 12" ( 32cm ) but due to his chubby body appears much bigger yet will occupy very little space in a display cabinet. He would make someone a wonderful Christmas or New Year's present and due to his personality and charm may not be available much longer than that. US$ 4,950.

 
 

Beautiful and rare 28" ( 70cm ) open mouth version of the Kammer and Reinhardt 117 ( " Mein Liebling " ) with the head incised " K*R 117 Simon-Halbig 70 ". Not to be confused with the " 117N " mold which is a much later and commonly found doll, this seldom found open mouth 117 was made at the same time as the closed mouth model and more closely resembles the Simon Halbig 120 mold than the K&R 117N. This all original example has the finest quality bisque, brown glass sleep eyes, feathered eyebrows, painted upper and lower lashes with remnants of the original silk upper lashes as well, and open mouth with four milk glass upper teeth and protruding upper lip. The costume is exceptional and consists of a pink cotton dress with lace trim, pink silk stockings and white silk shoes impressed on the soles " HH 5 ( within a heart ) " , a wonderful dark blond mohair wig with side part and pink silk ribbons, and a straw bonnet with pink silk ribbon band and tiny pale pink cloth flowers. A stunning doll which epitomizes the idealized child of 1910. US$ 3,500.

 

 

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 a fine quality fully jointed wood and composition body with excellent original finish. Wearing the original bobbed blond mohair wig and an antique white cotton gauze and lace dress, antique white cloth shoes with rosettes, white cotton socks and an old wide brimmed straw hat, 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$ 3,250.
