    Two (2) Rare Celluloid German Dolls in Native Custom
    These lovely celluloid German dolls are over 50 years old and are approximately 11” tall.  I received them as a gift from my grandmother who lived in Berlin, Germany.  They have never been played with but have been in a box for many years, wrapped in tissue paper in a non-smoking house.  Both have been kept out of sunlight.  Their clothing is in good condition (original and show some age), no tears or fading- colors look vibrant.
    The one doll with the red button on top of head has some discoloration (due to age) on her right and left sleeves.   Also, her left eye seems to be a bit stuck and her lashes loose (please check out picture).
    The other doll wearing the black felt hat, the hat has some tears and is a little bent (please view photos) and her head is slightly loose, the cord is intact that attaches head to body, is a bit looser.  From what I have been told, this is an easy fix if you choose to tighten cord.  Also, she has a mark on her left cheek, not sure where that came from and may be easy to take off.  I just have not attempted it.
    I have not attempted to iron or clean the clothes because I wanted to keep them in their original state.  I think you can gently press hat to remove some of the creases.  Both dolls clothing can be lightly pressed.  I have not been able to locate any manufacturer marks on doll.
    Both dolls are absolutely beautiful (both have blue eyes) and in dire need of a new home and someone who hopefully will display them!!!
    Please feel free to ask questions and/or require additional images.  These dolls are sold as is and there are NO REFUNDS.
