Adorable S&H 1250 "Santa," a manageable size at 45cm. The bisque head has no hairlines, cracks, chips, or repairs. Large gray eyes are fixed. Four upper teeth are visible from the cute mouth, and the lips have a distinctive Santa mark. The popular pink kidskin body has discoloration and soiling due to age, but there are no tears, and the muscular modeling is maintained. There are joints at the shoulders and legs, and knees, and the arms are composition. The construction of a leather body with composition arms is a characteristic of antique dolls from the late 19th to the early 20th century. The combination of a bisque head + leather body + composition arms is seen in transitional models and is a somewhat rare type. Red lines remain on the fingertips. The ankles are taped. The dark blonde human hair wig is likely a vintage item made in France. The original thin dotted cotton lawn dress is all carefully hand-sewn. She is wearing original antique white cotton drawers and a hand-embroidered petticoat, white silk knit socks, and original black sheepskin shoes. She is also wearing antique pink bead earrings.
