809353 Early Maroon French Fashion Doll Raincoat 1870s
This French Fashion doll raincoat has an unusual design. The coat portion is sleeveless, but is covered by an attached waist length cape. The material is is pretty shade of maroon gaberdine like material with an oil cloth or rubberized backing. The sleeve openings are cut in to almost a "V" shape in the back. The waist in back is fitted with cotton tape on the inside to tie around the front to bring in the back. There are 4 buttons in the front for closure. There is a single pocket in the front. I think this was made some time around the 1870s. I have not seen any other raincoats like this.
The coat is 19 1/2" long. The shoulder width is 7". The condition is good for the age. The backing is still good. I only noticed one small split in the back of the cape.

809351 Blue Plaid Morning Dress for French Fashion Doll 1870s
Nice early morning dress in a wonderful blue plaid on a gray background and red decorative binding. For those who like the country look, this dress definitely has that wonderful look. The colors are wonderful. There is a 3 1/2" ruffle at the bottom. It is sewn partly by machine and partly by hand.
The shoulder width is 6". The sleeves are 4" long. The dress is 20" long. There is no waistline. It dates to about the 1870s and is in very good condition for the age. I see no rips, tears or stains.
I think the buttons go in the back and the plain part in the front. You will notice from the side view that there is almost the look of a demi train in the back. I always take different views of the clothing to give a better idea of how it looks at different angles.

805308 1 1/2" Bisque Figure of a Man Dickens Tupe Character
This is a very tiny and unusual all bisque figure of a man, sort of a Dickens type character like a barrister or debt collector. He wears a Gentlemens coat with tails in the back, a vest and a top hat. He has a very round stomach as men of means usually had in those times.
This could make a wonderful statue in decorating an antique a doll house. It would also be a nice addition to an all bisque immobile doll collection. His face in only 1/4", but does show some nice detail for something so small. The condition is good. He probably is from the early to mid 1900s.

802302 12" Bisque Head Ball Jointed Doll Charming Dress Mold 50
This cute doll is dressed for a Victorian Christmas party. She is a bisque head doll with blue sleep eyes, open mouth with teeth and a dimple in her chin. Her mold number is 50 with 3/0 after that, and Made in Germany below. There is a strange applied mark below that. I cannot read it as there is a repair to the neck opening. There is a lot of heavy glue where the original wig had been, but I still cannot see any hairlines. My camera does not do well with contrasting colors so I have taken pictures with the dress removed so you can see a better picture of the doll. There is also a picture of just the wig to give you a better idea of the color. She is a dark blond or light brown.
She has an interesting ball jointed body. The upper legs are not the usual design. The top of the legs are flat and fit against the side of the leg openings on the torso. The person who fixed up the doll put the top sections on the wrong sides. A close up picture shows the upper portions of the dolls legs, both front and back, so you can see how they look. I am not going to have her restrung as it is not much of a problem, but if someone does have her restrung, it is just the upper sections that need to be switched. There is a crack in the finish on her foot and the hands and lower legs look as though someone washed them, but the red lines are still there.
She is wearing a newer outfit in a navy blue taffeta plain with a deep red velvet sash with a bustle effect in the back. The dress has a pleated ruffle below the sash. The petticoat has ribbons and eyelet ruffles and has a label that reads "Designed and Made by Connie Brekke New York". That is just on the petticoat, but she may have also designed this cute dress. She has long navy blue stockings, but no shoes.

710477 8 1/2" Bisque Head Character Doll Toddler Body A.M. 560a
This is a small but interesting 8 1/2" bisque socket head doll with a character face. It is a baby type doll on a toddler body. The knees are slightly bent, but not the bent limbs usually seen on a baby doll body. The back of her head is marked "Made in Germany // Armand Marseille // 560a // A. 8/0 M. // DRMR 232 / 1". The 232 was over the figure 1 with a line between. She almost looks like she has dimples, but not really. Her sleep eyes are a dark color. Sort of a gray-blue. Her eyebrows are a light color and feathered. She has blond hair. It is pretty but skimpy. Someone made her pate with styrophome. The body is composition, almost a papier mache type material. She does not have any cracks or hairlines.
Her dress is a simple pink organdy with lace trim. Her underclothing is a cute pink batiste onsie with lace trim.
My camera, lighting and picture taking ability leaves a little to be desired, but I do take lots of pictures of the doll and the doll clothing, close ups of the doll and photos of any problems. There should be sufficient pictures to describe the doll. After the pictures, I outline information about shipping and handling costs, payment information, layaway plans, etc. Please be sure to read this information.

707220 Brown French Fashion Doll Coat Dress Great Print 1870s
Unusual sleeveless day coat for French Fashion doll. It was made with a lovely early brown calico floral print from the 1870s or earlier. The collar is made with a black woven cotton fabric lined with black chintz. The outside fabric on the collar has worn out a bit. The rest of the coat dress is fine. There are 3 turquoise glass buttons in the front for closure. The coat has black fringe at the opening in the front, around the armholes and along the hemline. It was too small for a 16" French Fashion doll that I have, so it would probably fit on a 14" or 15" Fashion doll.
The coat is 10" long plus an additional 1" of fringe. The shoulder width is 3 3/4". The waist is about 8" around.

706205 Blk & Wh Calico Wrapper for French Fashion Doll 1870s
Antique black and white calico morning coat dress or wrap with pale blue trim for French Fashion or China Head doll. This early dress would be a nice addition to your doll's wardrobe. Every doll trunk should include one of these nice early dresses. The light blue trim is a silk brocade fabric. There are 2 sewn in pleats in the front and 4 in the back. They are all sewn down to just below the waistline. There are 5 buttons for closure. I believe the coat dress originally was left opened from the buttons down. Someone has sewn it shut from the buttons down to the hem. It is just a baisting stitch and could easily be removed. I have seen these wrappers made both ways, some left open and others sewn shut. I can tell from the age discoloration that his has been sewn shut for quite a long time.
The condition is fairly good for the age with no major rips or signs of wear. It could use a cleaning. There is a break on the back of one of the sleeves. The dress is 16 1/2" long, shoulder width is 8" across. The waist measures about 15" around. Sleeves 4" long. This coat dress is designed to be wider. While the shoulder width is 8", a doll with a 5 1/2" to 6" shoulder width would look fine with the shoulder seams of the dress falling below the doll's shoulder.

705213 2 Pc Antique Tan Color Cotton French Fashion Outfit
This is a nice 2 piece French Fashion doll outfit that probably dates to around 1870. It is a yellowish tan color print. The print has like a tweed look. The design is simple. The jacket has long sleeves, a small collar and a ruffle at the bottom. The outfit is not lined. It is a loose fit, slightly fitted in the back and straight down in the front. The sleeves were folded into itself like a growth pleat, but never stitched down. The have been that way for so long there is a sharp edge to the pleat. It looks nice that way, almost like there were inset lower sleeves, but they are all one. The sleeves folded in are 4" long. If spread out they are 5 1/2" long. The skirt has two ruffles at the bottom, each about 2" long.
I had problems with the color. Sometimes the dress looks whiteish gray and sometimes green. The second picture that shows just the skirt is the true color. Some pictures at the end also look much like the real color.
The skirt is 10 1/2" long with a very narrow waistband measuring 6" around. The jacket is 7 1/2" long. The loose fitting jacket measures about 10" around at the waist. The doll I am using to model the outfit has about a 14" body from shoulder to toe. Her shoulder width is 4 1/2". She is not for sale with this auction. It fits her nicely, but the waist on this doll is too wide for the skirt waistband.
The outfit is in fairly good condition for the age. There is a spot on the lower ruffle on the skirt about the size of a dime. The front of the jacket has dirt marks. It also looks as though the jacket was pinned shut. There are tiny holes that could have been caused by a pin that ran in on one side and out on the other side, one with a 2" long pin. It may have been kept that way, pinned in, for many years.

705203 Bisque Shoulderhead Doll Mark 5 on Head
Beautiful 18" shoulderhead doll with blue paperweight eyes and closed mouth. The only mark is the figure 5. Her eyebrows are a light color and feathered. The wig is like a strawberry blond and match the eyebrows. She is a pale bisque with nice color on the cheeks. The shoulder plate is nicely formed with indentations where the arms would begin. The doll has a cloth body with replaced arms. The hands have a folk art look. Her wig is heavily glued on so I cannot check underneath, but I see no evidence hairlines in the areas that are visible.
She has wonderful early ankle high blue leather boots. The lower part of her outfit was made from a French Fashion blue silk skirt. The top was put together with multicolor lace for the bodice and upper sleeves. The lower part of the sleeves are made with a grosgrain fabric that is pleated at the bottom. Her hat is blue felt. She has 3 petticoats and pantaloons.

702202 Rare 9" Bisque Head Doll A.M.395 Flapper Orig Dress
Lovely rare bisque socket head doll on 5 piece composition flapper body in the original clothing. She is 9" tall and the mold number is A.M. 395. This number is shown in the German Doll Marks & Identification Book by Jurgen & Marianne Cieslik. The only information it gives is "Armand Marseille / ca 1925 / "AM". Character, sleep eyes, open mouth". I could not find it in any of the Value Guides. Values are given for #300, 400, 401, all from the Flapper series, but nothing for #395. The 300 and 400 numbers are for Lady dolls, while #395 is more of a child doll. The open mouth Lady dolls are valued at around $1,200 to $1,500. The doll auctioned here is an open mouth doll with a child-like face or even a young teen face with the flapper style 5 piece body. Her bisque is in good condition. She has nice color with slightly feathered eyebrows and blue sleep eyes. This doll would make a lovely addition to any doll collection.
She has molded on and painted white stockings and brown shoes with a slight heel. Her original dress is a pale bluish green silk with lace on the neckline and sleeves, a drop waist and two ruffles for the skirt. The dress has machine embroidery-like stitching on the bodice and on each ruffle. She also has the original pantaloons. She is wearing a brown early wig that is not original to this doll but looks right. Her condition is good with no breaks, cracks or chips. She could use some restringing, however, it was done very nicely at the factory with a flesh colored sealant covering where the elastic was placed on each arm and each leg. It would be ashame to remove that sealant.

604214 Ladys Vintage Braided Fur Hat
I am not certain just exactly what this is. It looks like a small fur hat that would sit on top of a lady's head and possibly with a veil added. The fur looks as though it is braided, or two pieces for fur wound around. It has an 8" diameter one way and 9" the other way. I have no idea as to the age. My guess would be 1930s or 40s. It is also a nice size for a doll and I am using a 29" doll to model the hat. It does look nice on a larger doll.

Red and white doll apron made of a heavy material for lady dolls, such as a china head or a French Fasion lady doll. It would look good on either type. This could also make a nice addition to a Fashion doll's wardrobe trunk. While it is relatively inexpensive, it is something that is needed in every Fashion doll's trunk. The apron is white and is trimmed with red. The waistband and pockets are also red. The apron was probably made sometime in the late1800s and is in good condition for its age. It is 6" long, 5 1/2" wide at the top and 8" wide at the bottom.

509505 17" Bisque Shoulder Head Doll W & C w/ Horseshoe Mark
Pretty brown eyed 17" German shoulderhead doll. She is marked W & C 610 or 6/O with a Horseshoe mark like the Ernst Heubach dolls. "Doll Mark Clues" by R A Shea refers to this mark as unconfirmed E. Heubach. She has an unusual body, part kid and part cloth. The arms and lower body (hips to knees) are a kid leather. The torso is cloth with a thin waist and made thinner by a crude waist cincher, just a crude piece of cotton wrap. This also has made the waist a little floppy, but it is still okay. The gussets at the hip and knee allows for some bending, but not much. She can just barely be made to sit a little in a doll chair, and is more of a standing doll. She has bisque lower arms, but the thumbs are missing. Her cloth feet have a nice form and will hold a shoe. She has brown eyes that are stationery, a nice brown human hair wig with a braid in the back. The braid is a little off-center, and would look best if rolled into a bun in the back. She wears some nice antique underclothing, a pretty camisole with buttons in back, a wide lace collar and lace sleeves. This could be a blouse. The antique petticoat and pantaloons are also nice. Her eyes are plastered in place. I believe there is a factory flaw on the eyelid as it is under paint, but has a little curve to it, possibly when the mold was removed. She is a very pretty doll. no hairline nice shape to feet.

The stem of the umbrella is wooden and the very tip is brass. The handle is made of a celuloid. The very tip of the handle is broken off. The working mechanism is good. I can only see a few weekensses in the green silk portion, but other than than and the handle, this is in good condiiton. This is probably from the early 1900s.

The sleeves are a maroon silk and the collar is the same fabric. The basic robe is a high pile flannel fabric with a heavy weight backing. The belt is a maroon satin cord. The condition is good. It looks to be from the 1880s or 90s. It is all hand sewn.

410234 This antique blue silk parasol would make a lovely parasol or umbrella for a larger bisque child doll. However, it could have originally been a child's parasol. The parasols were not designed to have a large diameter when opened. Comparing this to a ladies parasol, it could have originally been child size or made for a large doll. This probably dates to the late 1800s and is completely hand sewn. It has a 3" ruffle at the bottom that is scalloped on both edges of the ruffle. There is a cotton fringe at the top of the parasol. The stem and point are brass and there is an a brass extension if one is needed. Often the parasol stems fold, but I do not know if this had ever been made that way. I have a little ivory handle that looks nice at the end. It is not original, but is antique and a perfect fit. The mechanism for keeping the umbrella open is all in good condition. I do not like to open it completely as it is too much stress on the silk. There are splits in the blue silk where it has been folded away for many years. It looks fine when folded and usually they are left that way. This could be re-silked, but since mostly they are left closed and it looks fine that way, I think this fabric and ruffle is too beautiful to change. The silk portion of the parasol with ruffle is 7 1/2", adding the point, stem and handle it is 13" long and with the extention it is 18".

403207 This is an antique French Fashion doll boot, a single only, but has a wonderful design. This is a low cut boot. It has the usual black heel and the lower part of the boot is patent leather. The upper part are gray wool and black buttons. They remind me a little of the spats that used to be worn over men's shoes in early times. This is part of a pair of boots that has been worn by a doll, so there is wear on the botton of the boot, but are otherwise in good condition.
Measurements: 2 5/8" long and 1" wide at the widest part of the sole.

305221 This is a good looking fabric in this skirt. The fabric is designed to look like a tweed in 2 shades of brown. It is probably from the 1880s and is all hand sewn. I have shown a picture of the inside of the skirt to show how the gathering or ruching was done with the fabric folded over, gathered and then whip stitched onto the waistband. This would probably be the right size for a 17" to 19" Chinahead doll, French Fashion or Papier Mache. It measures 10 1/4" long including the waistband and 8 1/2" around the waist. The condition is very good with no stains, rips or tears.

303271 This antique doll petticoat is beautifully made. Some doll petticoats are just cut down from other things and a waistband added, but this was was specifically made to be a doll petticoat and has very nice tailoring. It is fully gathered all the way around and is nice and full with a very small lace trim at the bottom. It is a pure white medium weight cotton and the button and buttonhole are in good condition. Some waistband machine stitches are coming out, but this does not affect the construction. It is about 9" long and 9 3/4" around the waistband. The fullness at the bottom is 36" around. This looks like it is from the early 1900s, probably anytime up to the 1920s.

This would be a fancy dress shoe that ties in front with ribbon and have black heels. Possibly a blue bow or ribbon could be used on the front of the shoe for the decoration. From the furthest part of the back of the shoe to the toe it measures about 3 1/4", heel to toe 2 3/4" and 1 1/8" wide. Other than the missing decoration on one shoe, they are in good shape.

103104 This is a wonderful old French fashion doll trunk for the smaller size doll. This size is very difficult to find especially with any type of partitions in the tray. It still has the original red paper in the top of the trunk and on the tray. The trunk is pine with another wood going across the top and metal in the edges. The tray has 3 partitions and originally ther were 3 separate lids. You can tell this as each section has a nail in the center for latching. You can also see where the back part of each section still had the nails for holding the lids. The trunk measures 12" wide, 7 1/2" deep, 9" to the highest part of the dome and 8" to the lower part of the top. In the 3 section area, one edge is broken off. Also, the leather handles or straps are missing. One picture shows the trunk with a 12" doll so you can get an idea of how it will look with that small size doll. The doll is not included with this listing, only the trunk is included. I would imagine this trunk would be nice for any doll from 10" to 15". It can be difficult showing a doll with all the accessories if the trunk is too big.

The blouse measures 3 3/4" across the shoulder, 5" across the chest or back, 4" across the waist, 5 1/2" sleeve and 4 1/2" from neck to waist. It probably dates between 1880 and 1915.

008049 Lovely old picture frame of molded brass decorated with colorless stones. The frame has no picture or mirror with it. It could be used for either. This would be nice for a French Fashion doll's desk, dresser, or trunk; or any other doll that needs nice accessories, or even a larger scale dollhouse. The frame measures about 1 3/4" tall by 1 1/4" wide. I would guess that it dates from about 1890 to 1920.

012090 This French fashion doll trunk is the early style with the flat top and is sort of a canvas (painted a dark color) over wood. There are 4 thick strips of wood with brass finishings across the rop and one on each side for reinforcement. The leather that wraps around all the edges is so hardened it almost looks like copper (but I am almost positive it is the leather). The interior is covered in a nice stripe ticking material. The tray has a folding top with two compartments. The lid of the trunk has silk ribbon held in place with tacks for sliding in small things to keep them in place, such as gloves or hankies. Overall condition is good for its age. Leather handles on the side are gone and the top part of the lock is missing. The trunk measures 18" wide, 12" deep and 11" high. This trunk would date to the mid to late 1800s.
