Mignonette in Black 5 1/2" |
 |
Barefoot and All Original $2250. |
 |
 |
A French all bisque with so much to offer! She is as French as can be, possibly by Sustrac, has light ebony-toned bisque, brown glass eyes, a smiling expression with ethnic molding, swivel neck, jointing at shoulders and hips and bare feet! She has her original back mohair wig and wears her original frilly lace and pleated silk frock that is not removable or it would be damaged. She has had some little neck chips invisibly repaired on the front and back side of her neck area. She is so unusual and so outstanding, either entering or leaving the room, right down to the huge bow on the back of her dress. |

A Winning Wrestler 9" |
 |
The All Bisque 102 to Own $4250. |
 |
 |
A delight for the eyes is this all bisque 102 wrestler in a statuesque near 9", with her blue glass eyes, square cut teeth (two on top and one on the bottom), original wig and most of original plaster pate, her wonderful, drop earrings of ruby colored glass, and what is probably her original ensemble of a muslin and lace pastel dress and matching bonnet. Her stocky wrestler body is near perfect with a very small peg hole chip that is quickly lost amidst an outstanding and large bisque body with swivel neck and jointing at shoulders and hips. She sports black molded bootines and is accented with shading at knees, elbows, hands and elsewhere to match her rosy cheeks! |

This fine example has brown sleep eyes, a closed, pouty mouth, super pale bisque of pristine quality, gentle shading and subtle decoration of the facial features. She has a swivel neck and is jointed at the shoulders and hips, sporting multi-strap bootines of the wrestler genre of early all bisques. Her brunette mohair wig is original, her bonnet and underclothing are antique and her dress is made of antique fabrics. This angel is 8 1/2" tall and has no problems. |

Early
Simon Halbig 9" Beauty $3450. |
 |
 |

Look who's dressed up just like a French bebe! Of course, it's an early Simon Halbig all bisque (9") made for the French market with her almond-shaped, blue glass eyes, beautifully stroked lashes and browns, open mouth with square teeth, fine, pale bisque and deep-cut crown. She has her original blonde, braided mohair wig, a swivel neck and long limbs, jointed at the shoulders and hips, with molded peach stockings and black molded shoes with pom-poms. Her silk and lace antique frock is original to her day and she wears a coordinating antique organdy and silk bonnet. She does have some hip chip repairs at the back of her legs and at the hip peg holes, and a factory irregularity to the shape of her crown, often seen with the thinner bisque of early, circa 1880 dolls. |
