22" Character Baby from the Kley & Hahn firm, impressed K & H Germany 568-12. Details of this fine fellow include a perfect bisque socket head, an open/closed mouth with a molded tongue and two upper molded teeth, blue glass eyes that are now set, nicely modeled pronounced ears and molded and brush-stroked hair.
His composition, bent-limb baby body does have the original paint finish, although there are scattered repairs, including fingers on both hands.
The very nice antique baby clothing he wears may help explain his gleeful expression – especially nice is the crocheted cap which keeps him snug!
Oh yes – almost forgot, a voicebox in his torso allows him to say his very first word – "wah"!
