17" SIMON & HALBIG #1250 Character/Pink-Kid Body c1890

Gorgeous bisque enhances the cheerful face of this circa 1890 Simon & Halbig girl on her original pink-kid body. Perfect bisque head with no damage and no repair incised “1250 // Germany // 6” on back of head, and “Simon & Halbig // S & H” below kid-leather collar. Raised brows are glazed and feathered over her brown glass sleep eyes with full mohair upper lashes and finest painted lower lashes. Her cheeks are rosy, ears are pierced, there’s a dimple in her chin and the open mouth has four tiny porcelain teeth and an S&H “Santa” darker dip in the bottom lip. Newer brunette mohair wig has lots of soft curls just past her shoulders. The cotton-stuffed kid body is in excellent condition with no leaking or repairs (a few surface rubs on the kid here & there). Composition arms are jointed at shoulder, elbow & wrist; legs are pin-jointed at hips and knees. Pink & white-striped cotton is trimmed with dainty lace on her 1890-style dress. Matching lace-hemmed cotton petticoat & pantalets, antique lacy-knit pink socks, and ruffled bonnet complete her costume; from original-owner, non-smoking home.
