    Description

    Time for me to go through my closets and list items on eBay. I am not an expert on this listing. I bought this adorable doll about 45-48 years ago from a collector who also had a Doll Hospital. I displayed her for a short time before placing her in a storage box in my closet until a few weeks ago.
    I did not continue to collect antique dolls after her storage in the 1970s, so never learned much about her. When I bought her, I was told she was a type of felt Lenci but because she had no tags, I was not guaranteed she was a Lenci. I just bought her because she looked like a little German girl.
    She is approx 15" tall. She has brown painted eyes with a tiny white dot on the left side of the pupil. She has tiny painted eyelashes and one paint brush stroke eyebrows. Her nares have a one dot on each side. Her lips are closed and paint is still a wonderful lip shape. She has a little dimple in her chin. Her light yellow hair is parted in the back to style into a single thin braid over each shoulder. I think it is stitched to her head. The stitching on her fingers is intact. I don't see any body seam splits. I think her arms bend by a "washer" or disc but I don't want to move them too much. Her hip joints do move well.
    I have never removed her clothes as they seem to be sewn on. There is age discoloration and a few tiny moth holes on her clothes. Her dress skirt feels like felt. There are the loveliest and tiniest buttons on her dirndl top with additional linked chains. She has her original shoes and leggings but the leggings have darker age spots on them.
    I have tried to explain what I see on this doll but encourage requests for more photos or for a potential buyer to ask questions.
    Please ask questions or ask for more photos to help with your purchase decision. I am not an expert to grade or classify items. I try to describe as best I can or best to my recollection of the item. Every buyer is looking for particulars of an item, so please don't hesitate to ask.
    If you are purchasing multiple items, please place them in your cart...make the purchase but do not pay at that time. I will then send you an invoice with your total purchase on a new invoice to combine shipping cost for you ... AND SAVE YOU $$$ on postage.
    Please note.. If this is an International Sale, I will only ship through eBay's Global Shipping Program. Unfortunately, I do not offer combined shipping costs through eBay's Global Shipping Program.
