Antique German Bisque Doll C.M. Bergmann Simon & Halbig #3 w/Ball Joint Body

Description: This listing is for an antique German bisque doll recently purchased from a local doll auction. She was made by Simon & Halbig and C.M. Bergmann in the early 1900s. Her socket style head is fine bisque with brown sleep glass eyes. She has painted upper and lower eyelashes and glossy multi-stroke eyebrows. Her lips are light pink with a faint red outline and she has four upper teeth. She has red dots in her nostrils and rosy pink cheeks. Her ears are not pierced and she comes with her original brown mohair wig. She is marked "C.M. Bergmann Simon & Halbig S & H 3" on the back of her neck. Her body is not marked. She has a ball jointed wooden body and stands 25" tall. She is dressed in a period yellow cotton dress with black embroidery decorations. Under the dress, she has an old cotton lace trimmed slip and modern 70s replacement pantaloons. She has period black knit hose and blue leather shoes. Condition: Poor. The bisque head does not have cracks or repairs but there is a fair amount of staining around the socket part of the head and the upper edge of the head from wig glue residue. Her body is very poor condition. It is badly stained and she is missing fingers on both hands. Her original human hair wig is shedding. The slip is too big for the doll and missing buttons and there is a missing buckle on one shoe. Please note: The antique books and doll stand are not included in the auction and are for display purposes only. Be sure to check my listings for more antique and collectible dolls and toys.
