I’ve been very lucky recently. Here are my dolls from the flea market this weekend. And the bee that was just delivered.
I also had a doll show and an estate sale haul recently. Now I just need space
I’ve been very lucky lately! I’ve bought a bunch of dolls (antique, vintage, new). I love these 2 but I don’t know anything about them. The little Black girl is about 6”. I think bisque.
The other baby, in the carrier is a puppet. There’s a hole in the back so you can move the arms. There’s a small glass bottle tied to her hand also. Not sure about the material, at first I thought composition but it doesn’t really feel like it.
No marks on either doll.
Does anyone know the era, name, any other info? I’d really appreciate it
thanks
I got this Parson Jackson doll for a song but I started to think it might be a repro. The listing said it was a composition doll. It doesn’t feel like composition but it’s not hollow like a celluloid doll head. The body seems more like composition. I keep looking it up and I’ve found that they were called Kant Krack and were made of biskoline. I just don’t know what that feels like.
This is the picture from the listing because I’m at work.
TLDR: what are the original Parson Jackson baby dolls supposed to feel like?
I just picked up some dolls today and google is not helping me (is it getting worse?)
There’s a bisque toddler marked Simon Halbig 116a about 27” and a cloth one with maybe oil cloth painted face, she’s about 36”
I don’t know anything else about them, I just love them
