Hi Dawn,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I can't quite make out the numbers below the word "Germany" but if you can let me know what it says I'll update this appraisal; it won't make a difference to the value.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
An antique Kley & Hahn bisque head doll
made in Germany by Hertel, 1902-1924
The articulating bisque porcelain head with brunette hair, painted features and blue sleeping eyes, the composition body clothed in light blue polka-dot dress with white lace-trimmed apron, marked to the back of the neck KH / Germany / 64-2(?)
11 inches tall
CONDITION: appears to be in generally good condition considering age and use. Clothing probably later.
PROVENANCE: inherited
$100-150*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
Thanks, Dawn. It has the mark for Kley & Hahn, who Hertel made dolls for.
you are correct, I did not realize it was marked. 😊From what I can read it says... K 11 Germany. I have attached a photo, also I noticed the head can also turn. Thanks!
