Kley & Hahn 536

A doll that exudes artistry, this amazing German character boy from the Kley & Hahn firm will please you every time you gaze upon him – not unlike a fine painting or piece of sculpture. Perhaps, that is because he truly is both. This fellow stands just under sixteen inches tall, boasts a perfect bisque head with lovely coloring and painting, blue intaglio eyes highlighted by delicate lashes, twice shaded lips, dimpled cheeks and an adorable mop of curly hair in the form of his original mohair wig.
On a fully jointed composition body that bears the original paint finish save for a wash to wear on his hands, he wears a magnificent suit of clothes in cotton check and faille. A red silk ribbon acts as his tie and more red can be found on his cuffs and the band of his sailor style hat.
Make room for him in your character doll collection, and we swear you will not be sorry. Or, you could always frame him and hang him on your wall – another place to display a true work of art.

We obtained this entirely original Simon & Halbig 1159 from the daughter of the original owner, who received this special example in childhood, circa 1910. The doll was stored away, slumbering for an entire lifetime, and that explains her pristine condition. Standing twenty-two inches tall, features include a perfect bisque head, brown glass sleep eyes with perfect wax lids and a nearly full set of lashes, pierced ears, an open mouth with teeth and a phenomenal rich brown mohair wig in the elegant Gibson Girl style.
We have not undressed this doll, and prefer not to, but we can see that her fully-jointed wood and composition body is in excellent condition.
Representing a young lady who is about to receive her First Communion, the full length gown of cream satin and organdy is graceful and quite clean, with just a bit of light foxing to the front and left side. She retains original under things, cream leather gloves which we have not removed, cream satin shoes with pom poms and a matching satin alms bag suspended from her waist. Two final touches are her veil of delicate tulle, and a bouquet of wax flowers with ribbon streamers.
Now that this lady has once again entered the light of day, it is time for her to receive the admiration and love that is long past due.
