Petite Leather Body Antique Bisque Head KESTNER? Germany Doll wTRUNK & WARDROBE

Description: Beautiful petite 9" size antique bisque head doll She doesn't have a makers mark but she is numbered 19/ 0 and also marked Germany - Maybe a Kestner? She was found in my Grandmother's belongings - she passed away in 1982 at 87 years old.For many decades she's been packed away in this trunk with a bunch of mommy made clothes -I cant say for sure, but would guess this was my grandmother's doll (born in the late 1800's) My cousin's recall my grandmother occasionally getting the doll out for them to "hold" when they were young (in the 60's or 70's) and when it became a favorite thing to do at her house she gave them the trunk and began making dresses with each of them. The doll is very dusty and dirty from decades of storage - mostly in the crevices such as the eyes, ears and mouth (see the zoomed pics) but otherwise she is in very nice condition. No breaks, chips, repairs to the bisque head or lower arms.I'm not willing to undress the doll but the body feels sound and sturdy and has no signs of tears or leakage. The trunk is aprox 10" long and 6" deep and 6" tall This auction includes the doll as pictured (in the outfit she is wearing) - The trunk - and the 11 dresses/outfits pictured in the trunk. Please view the pictures as they are a large part of the description. NOTE: Clothing is sold as found. Expect it to be imperfect. As typical with antique and vintage fabrics, clothing may smell musty from age and storage. Expect that antique/vintage clothing is frail, may be missing fasteners such as buttons and snaps & ribbons, ties, etc..., may have melting on silks, laces and ribbons, may have some rips & fraying, some moth or age holes and tears (I will note if I see any large holes, rips or tears), may have discoloration, spots or stains (I will note if I see large stains). Please view my other auctions and "save me" as a seller in order to see when more of my family and personal collection of antique and doll accessories listings are added.
