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.

Very Rare Early Antique Sophia Smith Kestner 23 China Doll Antique Dress As Is
Posted by admin On December 14, 2021













Very rare 23 Sophia Smith hairstyle China doll by Kestner. Dates from the early 1850s. She has an antique body and is wearing an antique coat dress, which is roughly from the same period within about 20 years. Please know that there is a repair to one side of her shoulderplate. Thankfully, this does not affect her beautiful face. Her dress is in remarkably good condition for the age. I love the fabric and the details. It lacks enclosures and needs to be pinned. Her body does not have any leakage. It is antique but not original to the head. Definitely appropriate and fits her well. My last image shows a picture of the same mold with brown eyes from a reference book by Mary Gorham Krombholz. I have more antique toy and doll items listed so please check out my other auctions!

17 Rare Early LIMBACH Annoyed Character Face Doll Antique German Bisque-Head
Posted by admin On December 12, 2021













17 Rare Early Cabinet Doll. With “Annoyed” Character Face. Original Antique Doll – Made in Germany. Bisque Head / Composition Body – Stands Approx. Marked (faintly): “Crown & Clover / L-1772 / Limbach”. Hard to Find and Displays Beautifully. This early Limbach cabinet character doll — with the distinctive eyebrows and “annoyed” facial expression — is quite rare. She is faintly impressed with the Limbach Porzellanfabrik markings: a crown, the three-leaf clover with “L” and “1772” in the leaves, and the name “Limbach” underneath it. There also appears to be a letter or number above the crown, but it is hard to make out. She has superb face painting, a lovely open mouth with teeth, and “annoyed” squinty eyes with frowning eyebrows. Her ears are not pierced. She has a very nice auburn French human-hair wig (marked “100% cheveux”) that further enhances her fiery demeanor. She is in her very old antique velvet dress, which has age issues noticeable on examination (melting, repairs — see below for details), but it just looks so perfect on her that I did not want to change it out. She also has a slip and pantaloons, as well as vintage shoes and socks. Note: Photo props not included: FRAMED PICTURE. Beautiful antique condition — from a non-smoking environment. No issues found with the bisque after careful examination. Her antique velvet dress is extremely fragile, with a bit of age fading, “melting, ” and repairs on the inside surface. These issues can be seen on close examination. See final two photos. 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, 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. Provided it’s rated the same (or faster) than the service you chose. If you live in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, or U. Message me to see whether there may be a cheaper alternative using Priority Post — depending on the size and value of your parcel. And provided the items can travel safely in the same box. WHAT, NOTHING TO COMBINE! ? (opens in a separate window/tab)… Where you’ll find more top-quality antiques/collectibles/artwork/dolls/and more! Significantly not as described: A. Flaw or discrepancy vs. What was stated in the listing. 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 “17 Rare Early LIMBACH Annoyed Character Face Doll Antique German Bisque-Head” is in sale since Saturday, December 11, 2021. This item is in the category “Dolls & Bears\Dolls, Clothing & Accessories\Dolls & Doll Playsets”. The seller is “saddlemountain” and is located in Newark, Delaware.

Early Antique Rare Kaiser Face Composition Black Baby Doll KR Kammer Reinhardt
Posted by admin On October 18, 2021













This is a very hard to find early composition doll using a Kaiser face bisque mold. Though unmarked, this baby was obviously a transitional doll when doll companies were switching from bisque to composition but still using their bisque face molds. He has a jointed cloth body and is wearing his original blue and white polka dot romper with blue buttons. This mold came in either black or white composition, but being black and transitional, is even harder to find. They came in either cloth or composition bodies. I have a white one with a composition body but it is not in as pristine condition as this beautiful baby. No damages to report, completely perfect. No repairs or touch ups, no leaking body. This and the black Dream Baby I have listed came from the original family from the same child. TEDDY BEAR NOT INCLUDED. 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 dont intentionally harm buyers. And it is a JOB. I ask that you contact me with any issues you may have.
