Good video, it was fun to watch. I don't have any antique dolls (would love one though) but this would work for any doll. Each wig changes the personality of the doll too, I think. Even humans choose the wrong color for themselves.
Thank you! I am rebuilding my grandmother's german doll. She has ball joints as well. I suspect she is a JDK but I am still trying g to identify the marks.
How wonderful! JDK faces are so beautiful. Most have similar bow lips and multi stroke brows. Does she just have a number on the back of her head? If so, you are probably right! Lucky you, and lucky doll to have you to restore her!💕
@@MaggieToTheRescue Yes, She is a D series model 174. The full back of the head says D "made in Germany" 8 with the number 174 beneath that. It took a while but a found a 174 picture. I am seeking a wig for her. Her eyes are brown and her eyebrows ash brown. Do you know what a family would have paid for her in her time? She belonged to my dad's stepmom whom he loved dearly. She was an only daughter.
How wonderful! It's a doll lover's dream to have a beloved doll passed down to them. I don't know much she would have cost originally, but I'm sure any German bisque doll as a gift at that time was an expense and treasured! The Florence & George site has some books that are reprints of original catalogs...maybe you could find out that way? Good luck, so glad she is in good hands! 🥰
I love your new channel. I subscribed! I owned an antique store for a while and we bought dolls. It was soo fun. Doll repair is so satisfying. If you know how to remove plastic safety eyes out of teddy bears, let me know. Thank you!
Thank you and welcome to the channel! 💕 Yes, I will do a video on leather antique doll body repair! And also dealing with stains on leather bodies. I actually haven't ever taken the eyes out of a teddy bear, but that's something I'll look out for. Great requests, thanks again! ❤️
She sure is a special
and beautiful doll💛

Thank you! And so true about wigs! :)
So cool
Also, if you know how to repair a leather body on an antique doll, I'd love a video on that too.
