A WONDERFUL AND RARE WIESENTHAL, SCHINDEL & KALLENBERG,
Doll
Here
we have a really lovely and rare to find W S & K doll -
In my very long years of collecting and selling this is
one of only two of this make of doll I have ever seen -
and the only one I have ever offered for sale.
Whilst the head was made by Simon and Halbig for WSK it
is very different from any others they produced - she
has a unique look, quite stunning. The
manner of her eyebrow painting is amazing and gives her
that quizical look. She has been in one
collection for the last 40 or so years and is now fresh
back onto the market. She dates from the earlier
years of the 20th Century, but she has a very
interesting history. Her original owner received
the doll as a present from her father. He was stationed
in Germany at the end of WW1 and bought the doll (and a
smaller doll) from a toyshop to take home for his
daughter. Her manufacturer would predate her
purchase date, but obviously she would have been stored
sometime in the toyshop prior to her sale. The
doll remained in the family, and has only had two
further owners since. She has always been
treasured even more because of her history. I did
have it once before about a year ago to offer for sale,
but the owner decided she could not part with her after
all - but the time is now right for her to find another
special home. The current owner wants to find a
loving home for this doll so has asked me to offer her
at several hundred pounds below her retail value - so
please bear this in mind, she is offered at a very
special price. She has a lovely real hair
wig with a velvet band, Pierced ears and earrings,
open mouth showing teeth and sleep brown eyes. She
measures about 26 inches.
