BH 94 - 7" AM ~ Ellar 353 Oriental Toddler ~ All Original

What a cute little toddler doll! This is Armand Marseille's Oriental version of the #353 Dream Baby…larger dolls are marked "Ellar". This little one is marked only "AM /Germany / 353 / 7/0".

The clothing is original…a sweet little print cotton tunic that fastens with a hook, and under this yellow panties that match the trim. The dark brown almond shaped eyes are set, and they are surrounded by almost invisibly fine lashes. There are arched brows, blushed cheeks and a sweet little mouth…she needs nothing but a loving home!

This sweet and shy one is priced at $525.00.

BH 92 - 9" Armand Marseille Googly ~ A.M. 254

What a cutie…and he is all original! I say "he" as the hairstyle says "boy" to me…and we all should know by now that boys wore dresses too!

His head is in perfect condition…not even a rub. Wonderful big deeply intaglio eyes with tiny highlight dots way inside, plump rosy cheeks with dimples and a wide watermelon smile. His hair is molded with curling swirls around his face. The body has only the tiniest of chips to the underside of the right thumb….and a few scuffs to the toes of his shoes.

His dress is original and shows slight bleeding of color, but really not bad. He has old knit drawers for modesty!

I have extra pictures if you are interested…just ask!

This darling little boy is priced at $695.00.

BH 76 - 6" All original Scottish Boy ~ K*R, S&H

This little fellow is so original and perfect with his bright blond hair, proudly wearing his tartan. He and his friend (different tartan...different clan) have always been together, but now they must be parted.

This lad is just under 6"...with his cap he is 6 ¾". He has never been out in the light...there is no fading at all to his kilt or black velvet jacket. Note his little mohair sporran, and the feather and medallion on his cap. He is quite proper too, wearing matching tartan shorts under his kilt!

He is on a nice 5 piece composition body with dark green molded socks and 2 strap black shoes. His head is only marked "L / S&H / K*R"...there may be a size # below that but the red ribbon at his neck hides it. His blue eyes sleep well and his open moth shows 2 upper teeth. I see no flaws, he is perfect!

This sweet boy is priced at $475.00

BH 73 - 14" Pouty Bisque Shoulder-Head Marked '3094'

I loved the face on this doll, and was sure I'd seen it illustrated somewhere. I found her on page 46 of Jan Foulke's book, Simon & Halbig Dolls, The Artful Aspect ...but with a different number...is she the same? And is she by Simon & Halbig? I can't answer that. This head is marked only '3094' on the bottom of the shoulder plate in the back...the front is unmarked. The other possibility is that this is a Baehr & Proeschild 309, size 4, and the numbers just slide together, but I really don't think that she looks anything like the 309 face illustrated on page 15 of the Cieslik's German Doll Encyclopedia. I guess you will just have to like her for the way she looks, without knowing who her maker is!

Her bisque head is perfect...on damage of any sort. Her face is charming I think, and very pouty! Her little closed mouth tips down on both sides and has a dark center line that goes into the deep corners. She has a dimple in her chin and evenly blushed cheeks with no rubs. Her bright blue eyes are set paperweight type, with dark lashes all around. Her brows are multi-stroke and quite heavy, but in a light brown shade, to go with her blond hair.

She is on a nice firm commercial cotton twill body with composition lower arms. Her fingertips are chipped off on both hands. She wears a lovely old silk windowpane check two-piece dress that is starting to fracture along the lines of the plaid but still displays very nicely. She has old cotton underwear with embroidered cut work trim. Her feet are clad in old black cotton stockings and black leather shoes that have been re-soled. Her wig is a lovely mohair replacement.

This interesting and pretty doll is priced at $895.00

BH 69 - 15" Simon & Halbig Lady

This is a lovely young lady of impeccable taste...perfectly coifed hair which can never be destroyed by moths, gorgeous enameled eyes which will never fall into her head to break...the joys of a carefree doll! I love molded hair dolls for that reason, but also because they so accurately portray the hairstyles of their day. She is a perfectly proportioned doll, with a slim cloth body with bisque arms to above the elbow, and bisque legs with black heeled boots (tan-soled) and blue garter lines. Her front shoulder is marked "S 3 H".

Her face is gentle and sweet with lovely detailed eyes, red lid lines, blond brows and slightly smiling mouth with a darker center line. Her exposed and well-defined ears are pierced into her head. Her hairstyle has a widow's peak on the forehead with fine brushstrokes around her face, and a braid over the top with curls in the center back.

Her lace trimmed dress appears to be original and has a little moth damage, but still is very presentable and very flattering...its color is a perfect match with her eyes. She wears matching old cotton eyelet camisole, pantalets, and petticoat...a proper lass! There is no damage to any of her parts.

She is priced at $1995.00.

BH 55 - 6" Darling K*R / Simon & Halbig Bisque Doll

What a cute little 6" doll! She is marked 'HALBIG / K*R / 15' on the back of her head. She has a darling face, and looks like the '192' mold, but there is no mold #. She has 2 white upper teeth, blue sleep eyes, fine lashes and brown brows. She is really in mint condition with her original wig and clean undamaged body. Her feet have black molded and painted stockings, with tan 2-strap shoes with heels. She wears cotton panties with tatted trim and an old coral/pink silk dress with lace…there was a hole at the hemline on the left side that I sewed closed. She will come with her new stand too!

She is priced at $425.00

BH 40 - 4 ¼" Glass-eyed Oriental Doll

This is a tiny glass-eyed oriental child...I suspect that it was made by Simon & Halbig, but it is merely that...a suspicion. It is marked only with a number under the hole for the queue "4 0" (with a space in between). The body is a nice quality 5 piece body with cute molded red shoes and painted white socks. The dark brown set glass eyes are very slanted with arching brows, and fine lashes. Cute little mouth with the tip of the tongue showing and little nostril dots too. Also notice the well-defined ears. The queue has lost its end...could be replaced if desired. Dressed in felt...not sure if this is original or not...sewn on. No damage.

This cutie is priced at $475.00.

BH 33 - Unusual Black Man Stone Bisque Half Doll

I find this figure to be very interesting. It was very well modeled with fine detail to musculature, hair and facial features. There are no marks, so I know absolutely nothing about him. He is 2 7/8" tall and the inside shows that it was finished off by hand...not simply popped out of a mold. I hope you can see the nicely sculpted hands. There is no damage.

He is priced at $135.00

BH22 - 2 ½" Kewpie Shoulder Head ~ German

What a cute face this little guy has! These Kewpie shoulder heads are very rare. His bisque is perfect and he has an impressed number at the bottom of the plate in back "9268 / 1". The inside is stamped in black "Made in Germany". He is 2 ½" tall, and shoulder plate is about 1 ¼" at the bottom. He has a penciled mark on his chest…may have been his price (can't really make it out, and didn't want to erase it). He has the usual golden brush stroked hair, blue wings, rosy cheeks and watermelon mouth. Eyelashes are even and fine. If he were to be made up into a doll, he would be about 6-7" tall.

He is priced at $ 250.00.
