Antique Simon & Halbig Lady #1 mc535x

5-1/2" tall. This lady is from a special sculpt by the German company Simon & Halbig called "Little Women." This doll retains her original body and wig. The arms and legs are half porcelain with the rest of her body being stuffed cloth. Her shoes are painted 2-strap heels. She has a shoulderhead, incised 9/0 on the front, and S&H//1160 on the back. She has inset brown glass eyes and her hair is a little sparse in places but is still in its original set with braids curled round in back into a bun. The clothing may or may not be original but it is certainly old and appears to be all hand-stitched. It consists of a yellow batiste dress (with petticoat and drawers) with a flowered batiste coat in an interesting design over it. She has managed to hold on to her beaded necklace through the years. She seems to be in perfect condition and just looking for a new dollhouse to call home!
