Normally we do not sell composition dolls but these next two offerings were so exceptional we knew we would have to have them. This example is an 18" ( 46cm ) very durable German composition doll with brown sleep and flirty eyes with open/closed mouth with two molded and painted upper teeth, full red lips and painted tongue, with curly sun bleached caracul wig. She has a socket head on a five piece toddler body with bare feet and wears her original art deco printed cotton dress and bead bracelet on the right wrist. On the back of the head there is a logo reading " K&W 21/46 " and was made by Koenig and Wernicke. This is a lovely and rare doll in superb original condition! US$ 850.

The sister doll is also 18" ( 46cm ) but has a slightly open mouth with full red lips and painted tongue with two separately molded upper teeth, and also has brown sleep eyes that flirt from side to side as well. She too has a five piece toddler body with bare feet and is in near mint condition. In addition she has a working crier mechanism in the torso. She appears to be marked " K&W 2662/46 " on the back of the neck. She has a slightly different expression, and wears a darker original black caracul wig in tight curls with the original red silk ribbon bow. In addition, she has pierced ears and retains one of her original brass earrings . Wearing her original costume consisting of a white rayon-type material blouse with red stitched trim, a red skirt and vest made of similar material as well, original bead necklace and bracelet on her right wrist, beige oilcloth shoes, and white cotton socks, she is ready for her first day at school! US$ 850.

Beautiful Maerklin painted tin carriage, 9" ( 23.5cm ) long by 6" ( 15cm ) high, with curved tin handle and wooden handlebar, four spooked wheels, in a pale pink ( almost lavender ) and cream base with gold lustre painted Art Nouveau stenciled design on sides, lattice footrest and side panels, and the original collapsible hood with original pink shade ( some typical melting ). Paint is in wonderful original condition with very little chipping and only slight fading due to age. It does lack two of the four original acorn shaped finials but miraculously still has the original all bisque baby with molded and painted features sold with the carriage. The interior pink paint beneath the baby is in near mint condition. A lovely and desirable accessory in about as good shape as one finds this type of coach. SOLD
