Description
My usual basic description with all the needed details, none of the flowery sales pitch stuff.This auction is for an antique bisque 25" doll. She can sit or stand well. The maker is George Borgfeldt & Company.
I have used "German Doll Marks & Identification book by Jurgen & Marianne Cieslik to confirm identification
HEAD
There are no hairline cracks. His mouth is open with 4 teeth. It is marked Germany GB. The eyes are antique glass, a pale blue. They are not original to the doll. The wig is a modern auburn mohair.
Body: This is not original to the doll but I believe the parts are original to each other. It is tightly strung and can sit or stand well. It has more scuffing and dark marks than average. All the fingers are there, no repairs.
Clothes: The undershirt is an antique cotton knit, underpants are a ribbed knit. I am not sure of the age and they look commercially made. He has reproduction cotton crochet socks and faux suede tie boots. He has a vintage commercially made long sleeve shirt with collar. It has a snap at the collar, 6 buttons. One needs to be sewn back on. (It is living in the corner of the vest). The vest is a heavy patterned cotton. It has 4 buttons with machine made buttonholes. There is a pocket on the front right. It is lined. The pants are a wool tweed with cuffs, and a buttoned set in fly made with the vest lining material. He has a great little pocket watch that I have sewn to the pant waist band. It tucks nicely into the vest pocket.
I will combine shipping when requested PRIOR to payment. Multiple purchases must be paid with ONE payment to be shipped together. I cannot combine this with wigs or straw flowers
I am not a professional dealer. I am selling my collection of 1000+ dolls, accumulated over 40 years. Many of these have been put together with parts bought separately over years. I describe to the best of my ability.
