HTF Rare Open Bottle Mouth EARLY Antique Horsman Composition Baby Doll Vintage

Posted by admin On February 14, 2022

This is an early Horsman baby doll; if you’re a Horsman or early composition collector, this character seldom comes up in good condition. At 16, this early baby is the perfect playable size. In stunning condition, with no crazing, shiny composition. Tin sleepy eyes, and a HTF open mouth (meant to take a bottle). Ready to display and love! No broken fingers or toes. Within the community there are many who are apprehensive or skeptical of antique dealers, while most of us are simply trying to run a small business or fund our own collections. Once you are a dealer, you will understand that this community is small and most long-timers don’t intentionally harm buyers. And it is a JOB. I recycle and upcycle boxes and materials as much as possible. I ask that you contact me with any issues you may have. Collecting should always be fun and I love to make relationships with my buyers. I once had to accept a return from someone new to antique doll collecting because they didn’t realize kid leather arms don’t hold poses. Please use your best judgement and knowledge of your chosen collectible. As always, PROPS are not included in the listing unless specifically stated. NO ODORS unless stated. This item is in the category “Dolls & Bears\Dolls, Clothing & Accessories\Dolls & Doll Playsets”. The seller is “andnowitsmine” and is located in this country: US.

Early French Market Gebruder Kuhnlenz Doll 15 1/2 Rare Mold #28 Closed Mouth

Posted by admin On September 19, 2020

This early antique Gebruder Kuhnlenz doll is a simply GORGEOUS and even more so in person! Her beautiful bisque is an even creamy pale color with only light kiln “beauty marks” as shown in the close up. No cracks, hairlines or chips! She is an exceedingly rare Mold #28, with big beautiful set brown eyes and closed mouth made for the French market. When I acquired her she was very dirty on a leather kid body which had deteriorated beyond repair from dry rot. I put her on a nice sturdy antique composition body with a new human hair French wig (with her original ribbon taken from what was left of her blond HH wig), and was able to salvage her double plaster pate (numbered “65”). She comes in a newer slip and pantaloons, beautiful vintage dress, bead necklace (shown in the second picture), earrings, vintage socks and leather boots handmade in the Ukraine. I will include provenance on the doll including the name of her original owner! She is truly a treasure! If any questions, please ask.

Rare 9 Early Kestner 169 LITTLE MISS MUFFET Closed Mouth Antique Doll Bisque

Posted by admin On April 8, 2020

9 Rare Early Kestner #169. AS “LITTLE MISS MUFFET”. Fully Jointed Cabinet Doll. From the Mary Ann Hall Collection. Original Antique Doll – Made in Germany. Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, Eating her curds and whey; Along came a spider, who sat down beside her… And she convinced the dear spider to stay! Mary Ann only collected the very best dolls. Little Miss Muffet Has Learned to Share! – Here you have a darling rare, early 9 Kestner 169 child, with closed mouth, on a fully-jointed composition body with straight wrists. Her bisque head is marked only with a “C”, the mold number 169, “Made in Germany, ” and what may be another “C” on the left (though it is faint). She has a lovely face, with bright blue glass paperweight (stationary) eyes. Her body in excellent original condition, with her original and beautiful full blond wig. After extensive research, I found that this doll is extremely rare and almost impossible to find, especially in great condition like this one. And she’s from a fine, reputable collection. She comes dressed in a Little Miss Muffet outfit, with her tuffet seat, an oh-so-cute felted spider, 2 bowls of “curds and whey, ” and two spoons… Because, of course, she has learned to share! Beautiful antique condition — from a non-smoking environment. No issues noticed on the bisque after careful examination. IMPORTANT: Besides the noteworthy issues mentioned above, EXPECT any antique doll (bisque/composition/leather/china/wood) to ALSO have: (1) SIGNS OF AGE – for example: toned/crazed/chipped composition, minor wig pulls, loss of “hair” lashes on bisque heads (if they had them), not-so-tight stringing, etc. (2) MINOR CONSERVATION WORK by previous owners/collectors – for example: reset eyes in most cases! , repairs to wig, repairs to clothing, touch-ups on composition/finish/paint, etc. Any MAJOR issues — hairline crack, total repaint, etc. – would be itemized above, but these normal age/conservation details are not. They are to be expected. I’LL BE GLAD TO ANSWER. If you live in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, or U. These countries have more flexible Priority Post options, but it depends on the size and value of the item you’re purchasing. And provided the items can travel safely in the same box. Opens in a separate window/tab. As often happens, it’s the few bad apples out there who ruin it for the rest of us. Not knowing what they’re doing. And then, when they realize they’ve ruined the doll, they return it saying it was defective. BUT HAVING SAID ALL THAT.. I do bend over backwards, attempting to disclose any noteworthy condition issues I can find or think of. But these are antique and vintage dolls — so, please understand that they won’t be in brand-new condition. There will always be some minor indication of their age, and it would be impossible to itemize every single pinhead-size stain on the outfit, or hairline scratch on the body. Please expect these types of conditions with old dolls. IT CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION. The item “Rare 9 Early Kestner 169 LITTLE MISS MUFFET Closed Mouth Antique Doll Bisque” is in sale since Saturday, April 4, 2020.
