unusual for this model,brunette human hair wig captured under woven snood,old kid body with
shapely torso. Condition: generally excellent,body is charmingly too elongated for the doll,but
the head and body have been together for many decades. Comments: Germany,circa 1875,the

expected from the rest of her costume". Ex-collection Legoland Museum of Antique Dolls and
