27" Kestner HILDA 237 Antique Repro Bisque/Comp0 Doll 1982 Irma's Doll Gallery

Description: Wonderful, huge, 27" chunky 237 Kestner HILDA Reproduction! Beautiful, blue, stationary eyes. Long, blonde, softly curled Human Hair wig. She is outfitted in a fully lined, blue, silk dress trimmed in cotton lace, full slip with matching bloomers, socks and shoes. The shoes look to be real baby shoes--not really appropriate for this doll, so I would probably look for better shoes if she comes home to you. But at least she has some kind of footwear until her mama buys her something more appropriate! She is tightly strung and can hold a pose just fine. Her composition body is sturdy and strong, but I'm venturing a guess that it was painted in a way to make it look slightly distressed or old. Maybe this is the way they were painting reproduction composition bodies back in the early '80's! The chest also has a funny shape...kind of concave in the middle? But this looks like how it was manufactured and not damaged at a later date since I see no evidence of any cracks or damage. There is a little something rattling around inside her--probably a loose piece of compo or plastic. She was made by the well-known Irma's Doll Gallery (Portland, OR) in 1982. Very pretty but HEAVY! This doll weighs close to 5 lbs. She will need an oversized, sturdy box for shipping with lots of padding. Shipping cost reflect this.
