J.D. KESTNER 243

Originally made for and retailed at Gump's, a fine jewel of a San Francisco department store, to us, the J.D. Kestner 243 Oriental Baby is a shimmering jewel in the Kestner line.
This little guy is such an appealing size at thirteen and one-half inches long! He retains his original black human hair wig, brown glass sleep-eyes, plus he has gorgeous, perfect bisque and a darling expression. His marked Kestner body is properly tinted and is in very good condition overall, although there is a repair to two fingers on his right hand.
Wearing what appears to be an exquisite original costume of colorfully embroidered Chinese silks in a variety of rich colors, all enhanced by Venetian glass beads, this little fellow will do his best to become the shimmering jewel in your collection.

Gebrüder Heubach 7975
Baby Stuart

Ok...well, in this case Stuart is not actually a baby, he is only dressed as a baby! Regardless, this is one extremely rare model of Stuart! The obvious blue-ribbon-winning feature of this thirteen-inch model is his molded and floral decorated cap, which is also by the way, removable. Additional details include blue sleep-eyes, gorgeous perfect bisque with early out of the mold modeling, and a pouty expression which is extremely endearing.
On a wood on composition child body with a very nice paint finish, Baby Stuart wears several layers of baby clothing, topped by a long white cotton baby gown.
There appears to be a small repair on the top front edge of the removable bonnet, but it is extremely well done, and is virtually undetectable.

This is your chance to add one of the rarest German characters to your repertoire of faces – do not miss out!

Looking like a million bucks in her cocoa silk ensemble, and marked Made in Germany 13, this Closed-mouth Kestner has the most amazing moist bisque! When you see her face to face, you will agree!
Further details of this child, who stands just under twenty-one inches, include a poured bisque head that is lovely, but not perfect due to a faint hairline on her upper forehead. In addition, there are very expressive brown glass sleep-eyes, beautiful lip, lash and brow painting, and a skin wig that features long blonde curls.
On a fully-jointed Kestner composition body showing normal wear to the original finish, there is a re-glue to a finger on her right hand.
Cocoa silk faille is the magic ingredient of her lovely dress, with cut velvet, lace and silk velvet adding sumptuous dimension. A chocolate brown straw hat adorned with matching faille and a plume could not be a more fitting choice to crown this desirable German classic.
