Description: Antique bisque shoulder-head doll by Louis Herman Bonvoisin. Marked L.H.B. 4, Made in Germany. 22 1/2" tall. Kid leather body with composition limbs. Original (or at least old enough) mohair wig. Blue glass sleep eyes, and she's a wee bit crosseyed! I'm not sure if she was made that way, or if they were replaced. The shoulder-head is not attached to the body, and I cleaned up the remaining glue residue around the bottom and top from the wig. She has a hairline on the right shoulder, and a small chip in the back bottom corner, neither would really show if she were put together and dressed. No wear on her fingers or toes, but a few age crackles in the composition. The thread holding her arms on is a bit loose, so a little mending there would help. She's wearing 3 lace-edged petticoats and bloomers. Really an unusual doll, and in a nice large size!Please check my other listings! I'll be listing the estate of a doll collector! I do combine for shipping, as long as the items are purchased the same day. From a non-smoking home. Returns are only accepted if there was a mistake in the listing.
