Antique Kestner #257 Character Baby - Excellent - 16-inch

Description: Antique Kestner #257 Rosy Cheeked Character Baby - Excellent - 16-inch - Bent Leg Baby Body. According to my Kestner doll book This mold #257 was produced at or around the time of the Hilda Mold of a time period of shortly after1914. This mold is said to have been made for quite a few years. She has deep brown sleep eyes with real lashes. I have put batting behind her eyes to keep them stationary and safe especially for shipping, but it can easily be removed if the new owner wants to. She has her original pate and human hair wig that is clean and set in curls with straight bangs. The pate and wig is only tacked and easily remove to get access to the inside of the head. She originally had straight hair but I preferred her with curls. I did not come them out but left them in ringlets. She also has and open mouth with two upper teeth and bottom teeth that is just barely showing, and a tongue. Her dress is original with only the ties inside the neck casing have been replaced. there is some tiny pin holes, other than that it is in its original condition. She wears an antique full slip. Her underwear has been replaced and she wears custom made booties crocheted from antique thread near the same era as the doll. Her Porcelain head is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips, and she has great coloring. I have shined a light inside her head to check it. The bent-legged baby body is also in excellent condition.
