Vintage - Large Composition Doll (70cm) with open mouth and teeth
What a fabulous find for the Collectors of vintage dolls - this beauty is LARGE, she is 70cm long and weighs just over 2kg. Her blue eyes are slightly faded from age but open and close beautifully, her open mouth shows 2 little white teeth on the inside. The back of the head is marked "DOLLY" and a couple of letters after Dolly which are hard to read. The cloth body is attached to the composition limbs with wire. There is a bit of damage but for a doll this old, she is in pretty good condition. There are a couple of spots on the doll here and there where the outer layer have spots of wear, most notably on her toes as well as on the ends of the fingers, her nails and mouth appear to be painted by a previous owner as the nail paint covers some of the composition damage. Some surface cracks on the composition on either side of the head just below the ears, I also notice some feint surface cracks on the arms (see photos below) but the cracks appear stable. A previous owner has covered some cracks with a flesh color paint, again see the photos below. She has a built in crier that is not working anymore and I suspect the wig to be a later addition, this is attached to the head with glue. Still a most desirable and rare doll, a welcome addition to the collection of any serious doll collector!
RARE and Lovely!!!
