"Ivy"
Simon & Halbig 1448

If you think this lovely Ivy looks especially unique from others you may have admired in the past, we would have to agree. Her facial features are somehow stronger than those of her sisters, and that just might have something to do with this extremely rare doll's extremely rare size. Ivy stands twenty inches tall!
Additional features include deep, first out of the mold modeling to the beautiful "moist" bisque head, which is not perfect however, due to a restoration upon the neck socket. Deep blue/gray sleep-eyes fill even eye cuts, plus note the very full lips and perfect blush upon the cheeks, while an antique, auburn, human hair wig compliments the brow color.
On a fully-jointed composition body with the original finish showing light normal wear, Ivy wears a peachy-pink silk dress (scattered repairs) that is fit for a princess. Delicate lace helps create dimension, while the pink silk brocade bonnet makes a bold statement! It is luscious, with abundant pink silk ribbon, plus yards of chiffon, lace and spangles.
In our book, a rare character, with strong features, in an unusual size, add up to a must-have!

Simon & Halbig 1358

When we find pristine, all-original dolls like this magnificent thirteen and one-half inch 1358 from the Simon & Halbig firm, believe it or not, we sometimes worry. There is nothing wrong with this doll – a little bit of normal wear to the ball joints, that's about it. So, what's the problem? We worry, because she is so close to perfect that maybe she wasn't played with...or loved enough. Then, we remember that it is never too late for her, so we'll all just have to make up for lost time....uh...love.
She really is something else, this little cutie with a black finish, ethnic features and brown glass sleep-eyes...her original human hair wig is a work of art....her body is truly lovely...and her original play dress in cranberry wool is pretty cute, too. Okay, nothing to worry about here.

J.D. Kestner's
Hilda

The Kestner Hilda Baby has universal appeal. We found that out years ago when a favorite doll acquaintance of ours from Mexico City asked us to find her a special "Bebe Hildita". And of course, the German doll collectors love their Hildas. Really, who couldn't love a Hildita...uh, Hilda?
This special example, a twenty-one inch long baby, is one to love. Hilda has a perfect bisque head impressed "Made in Germany 16 – 245 J.D.K Jr. 1914 Hilda", very nice painting, rarer brown sleep-eyes, and a baby-fine, rich brown mohair wig.
On a classic Kestner bent-limb baby body in excellent condition, Hilda wears a cozy ecru wool baby dress with extensive silk embroidery and fine finishing to the scalloped hem. A knitted cap and wool booties complete's the presentation, of this beloved, and world class character baby.

Incised only 128 3, the origins of this extremely rare German character are a mystery – although some would attribute the doll to Simon & Halbig. What we do know for sure, is that this example is remarkable for its very unique appearance.
Features include a bisque socket head (extremely well done restoration to the upper back near crown), brown glass sleep-eyes with fur lashes, molded brows (a tell tale S & H characteristic) and a magnificent antique mohair wig.
On a fully-jointed wood and composition body with its original finish (repairs to fingers on left hand), she wears a truly darling dusty pink wool dress with dusty pink lace accents, a matching mop cap, pink stockings and antique cream leather shoes.
Standing "cabinet size" at sixteen and one-half inches tall, this very rare doll may not be perfect to all eyes, but to ours she definitely is.
