VINTAGE GUPSPUPPE DOLL !!!

SHIPPING R75.00 DUE TO HER SIZE AND WEIGHT

I HAVE TO CONFESS, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN ONE OF THESE DOLLS. SHE IS VINTAGE CIRCA 1940 AND IS KNOWN AS A GYPSUM DOLL OR 'GUPSPUPPE' SHE IS MUCH HEAVIER THAN OTHER DOLLS AND IS MOLDED FROM GYPSOM, A HEAVY COMPOSITION LIKE MATERIAL THAT IS MIXED WITH WATER TO FORM THE MOULDING PASTE. HER TORSO IS MADE OF A MUCH LIGHTER COMPOSITION THAT WE ALL ARE FAMILAR WITH, HER HEAD, ARMS AND LEGS ARE MADE OF GYPSUM. YOU WILL NOTICE HER BODY COLOUR IS DIFFERENT TO THE REST OF HER, THIS IS THE NORM WITH THESE DOLLS. SHE HAS SLEEP EYES, I THINK THEY ARE PAINTED TIN, WITH PAINTED ON EYELASHES, A PRETTY MOUTH WITH HER TEETH IN PLACE, A CRYER THAT IS NOT WORKING AND SHE DOES NEED TO BE RESTRUNG. OTHER THAN A FEW SCUFF MARKS SHE IS IN GOOD CONDITION. HER LENGTH IS 60cm AND I WOULD DESCRIBE HER AS A FAT LITTLE BABY DOLL !!
