Beautiful antique c1916 Krestner doll.

Collection is welcome from Bentleigh, Victoria.
For shipping prices please refer to the bottom of the listing under "shipping".
Measures: 48cm (19 inches)
Beautiful J.D. Kestner antique doll c1916. She is in beautiful condition, with a lovely unblemished face showing two small teeth, a pink tongue and bright eyes, which close when she lays down. I believe the face is bisque and the body is composition. The clothes are not original but pretty all the same. The wig is glued to her head, so if you would like me to pack the head for shipping I will have to remove it, but will wait until the end of the auction so that I can discuss this with the winning bidder. She does have some minor damage to her fingers - please study the photographs so that this knowledge reflects your decision to bid. It is minor, but mentioned for complete accuracy. I hope I have shown sufficient photographs for you to evaluate her but please do ask any for any additional information as I am not an expert at all - but have been given this information by a very kind doll collector.
Questions are very welcome - thank you for looking.
I have a beautiful collection of treasures this week - do check my other items if you have a moment. Thank you!

Payment welcome by paypal, cash on pick up when picking up from my home, direct deposit / internet transfer, bank cheque or postal order. International buyers - paypal only please.

Registered and professionally packed post to most locations will cost about $20.00 to send. It will be less to Victoria. ($16.00) more to W.A. and N.T. ($30.00) International approximately $70.00. (too many locations to give a quote for everywhere - please be aware I only charge actual postage plus the box). You are welcome to collect from Bentleigh, Victoria if you are local. Thank you.

Courier (if required): I am happy for you to organise at your expense. I recommend Aladdins - email for a quote - garry@aladdinscave.com.au - please don't leave it till the last minute as they do take a day or so to get back to you. Alternatively I use Greyhound freight, you can email me to see if they deliver to your area and the costs. It is extra to rural areas or Tasmania but they are quite reasonable and reliable.

Please note: All of my items are antique, vintage and/or used. I buy items for my ebay listings because they are beautiful, not always because they are perfect. If you require item to be in pristine new condition, then you should probably buy from an antique store where you can inspect them personally. It is often hard to determine the age of items purchased at estate and antique auctions so I can only give my best estimate and I am not infallible! Please ask if you require clarification. It is my intention to provide you with a wonderful online buying experience and I do my very best to accurately describe my items, however I am human and sometimes I unintentionally may omit a detail you may consider important. Communication is the key! Please feel free to ask questions if unsure, prior to bidding please. I may not always have the answer but I will always tell the truth. Thank you!
