7 LITTLE German Bisque Head Baby Dolls by Armand Marseille, Herm Steiner, and Rechnagel + 1 little bisque socket head that is missing its paper mache' body..... Range in size from 5 1/2" to 9 1/2".... From a non-smoking and pet-free home....

Please study all photos, feel free to ask questions, and be sure to check out my other interesting antique auctions! Marking is partially covered by the cloth body, however what is legible is "6/0 +". Tiny glass eyes appear stationary/set and never slept.

Marked "GERMANY 3/0" (may have additional markings hidden by cloth body). One cloth arm is different fabric, however it appears to have been made that way.

A bit of flaking on two fingertips on one hand. Bisque socket head only, missing is a five-piece paper mache' body. Tiny glass sleep eyes, however get stuck in place. Crude repair to front of cloth body. A few tiny flakes on fingertips.

Dolls #5 and #6 are twins. Sleep eyes need to be reset, however both original plasters remain inside head.

Marked "15 HS Germany 240". One split seam on the underside of one arm. Sleep eyes need to be reset and will need new plaster. Composition coating on both arms/hands is lifting/peeling, however both hands and all fingers are present. Head has a bit of rubbing on the back of the hair, however my photos make it look worse than it is. Germany 351" followed by a number that is hard to read, perhaps "3/0. Both paper mache' hands have flakes to the fingertips and the pinky on one hand is just about chipped off.
