I have a doll from deceased mother in law's estate:
On back of neck: Germany, Heinrich Handwerck, Simon & Halb?,
1. On doll back, in red, Heinrich Handwerck, and 1. 19", jointed @ neck, shoulders, elbows, hands, hips and knees, lidded open/close eyes.
Someone wisely made an outfit and stored the original dresses & undergarments which are in very good condition. Doll has on calf-high stockings and detailed soft leather shoes w ankle straps; detail on shoes and fasteners on straps are intact.
Value to sell? Condition is good, light soiling on face, joints secure, light surface cracking on body, primarily buttocks.
There is a story about how this doll was a prize or premium for some sort of accomplishment or sales performance.
I am requesting the narrative.
