Note: I had a doll expert write recently to give her thoughts on our mystery doll saying she thought the doll had Kestner features. She writes:
Also, her wig is newer vintage from 1950-1960 based on wig cap, type of mohair and side clips, typical of early dollspart replacement wigs. Kestner and Simon Halbig did make some heads for French market, though her body does appear German.Interesting doll!
