Description
14" (36 cm.) Felt swivel head, pressed and painted facial features, brown side-glancing eyes, long curly upper lashes, single-stroke brows, accented nostrils, closed mouth, accented lower lip, light brown mohair stitched-on wig with coiled side braids, muslin firmly-stuffed body, felt arms and legs, jointing at shoulders and with seam-stitched hips. Condition: doll is excellent, costume faded. Marks: Lenci made in Italy (cloth label). Comments: Lenci, a color variation of series 900/E from the 1928 catalog; the doll was seam stitched at hips to allow easy "floppy" seating; the model is rare to find as only 15 different models were offered over its three years of production. Value Points: the play doll, with seated pose, is hard to find.
