<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sassafras, post: 9796485, member: 6320&quot;]There were several manufacturers who made character babies like this, although Kestner and Kammer &amp; Reinhardt were the most prolific. I would expect the head to be marked if it was by either of them. They were both very good about markings, although there are exceptions. </p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the character babies had solid domes and did not have wigs. Have you removed the wig yet? Is it a solid dome or does it have a pate? If it&#039;s a pate, can you please remove it so we can see the inside of the head? </p><p><br /></p><p>Can you show a pic of the fingers on the right hand? I&#039;m not seeing the fingernail lines, but that could be the angle of the photo. That could be an indication that there was some repair work to the fingers. Otherwise the body and sticker look original to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of notes about the head so far....the painting itself is actually not terrible, although the coloring is harsh. The lashes are well done, but I would expect to see painted lower lashes too. The longer brows would have been feathered, while the shorter brows would likely be single stroke (like K&amp;R Kaiser Baby). Both are things that I would expect on a factory painted character baby from this era of production. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have an idea on what&#039;s going on, but I&#039;ll hold that until we see more pics. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
