~ RARE KESTNER 160 GIBSON GIRL DOLL ~




This is a listing for a rare old antique German bisque head Kestner mold number 160 lady doll. She is in a desirable cabinet size and measures approximately 16 inches tall. This particular doll came out in 1898. It is very hard to find this mold, so if you are a big Kestner fan, this is probably a doll you don't have.
 
This demure Victorian lady has brown glass sleep eyes, upper and lower handpainted eyelashes, very thick, feathered, multi-stroke eyebrows, open mouth with teeth, and smooth bisque.
 
The lips on this particular Kestner mold are thick and full which gives her a sweet smiling look.
 
She is in excellent condition with original antique Gibson Girl 2 pc dress with antique brooch/pin, antique lace hat, antique beaded belt, replica pocket watch, layers of original antique undergarments and original antique brown human hair wig styled in an updo. Her black skirt is made out of an antique taffetta/silk material. The outfit does have a few spots of melting/tears from extreme age, but is mostly sturdy and intact.
 
Her original pate was never removed and I will remove it carefully for shipping so I can stuff the inside of her head to protect her delicate glass sleep eyes.
 
Her head has no hairlines and her body is in good shape with it's original Kestner stamp.
 
She is display ready and you will love her!!



I do not smoke, but do not know how many smoking homes these antique / vintage items have been in for all these years. I do have 2 dogs, but all my items for sale are kept behind glass or away from my pets.

If you have any questions please email me. I would be glad to answer your questions quickly. All sales are final as these items are vintage,antique or very old. Antique or vintage items are used and I never describe them as mint.

Any flaws I see will be noted in auction description. However, antique and vintage items are not perfect and may have imperfections from age that I may have missed by accident. I provide lots of photos at many different angles for you to see the condition very well. Therefore no partial refunds will be allowed. If anything needs to be returned you will pay return shipping. Refund will not include original shipping costs and item must be returned in the same condition as sent. More pictures will be furnished glady upon request. By bidding you agree to these terms. Thanks.

I pack antiques, porcelain, delicates, and collectibles with plenty of care. No need to worry. I usually have very fragile items professionally packed by the UPS Store and pay for that service out of my own pocket. I think my customers are worth the extra effort. Fragile items will be packed in layers of bubblewrap, and the box will be padded with plenty of cushioning.

Payments must be received within 7 days after auction closes otherwise I will file an unpaid item dispute with ebay and relist the item immediately.

If you need a little more time to pay for your items, please email me before making a purchase. There is a possibility we can work out a payment or layaway plan. Just remember to email me for details first, otherwise I need to stick to the original 7 day payment plan as stated above.

If a layaway or payment plan is okayed by me, a non-refundable good faith down payment of 30% must be paid to hold the item. If buyer changes his or her mind, the 30% down is non-refundable and can only be used as a credit in my ebay store and is good for 6 months.


All sales are final. Please ask questions before buying. I will be glad to answer any questions you may have quickly.
