Germany Simon & Halbig S&H 12. Comments: Simon and Halbig,circa 1910. Value Points:

virtually not known to exist. Sculpting includes triple-impressed dimples at lip corners,extra
indentations at eye corners to enhance the come-hither look achieved by heavy eyelids,and
well-defined chin. The doll has her original flirty eye arrangement that functions well,fabulous
waist-length wig,and overall outstanding presentation.
