Remnants of her plaster pate and lines to show where her original kid body was attached authenticate her age. She also has an old, short (tight) hairline at the rim behind one ear (which was probably made when trying to remove the pate) and will, of course, be covered by an appropriate wig. What an outstanding doll she will make when again assembled and dressed! Current blue book value, complete is over $3600. Made by the renouned firm of J.D. Kestner. RARE.
