Steiner, Figure C, sleep lever eyes marked Steiner 5, blond human hair, nicely costumed, body is repainted in spots many years ago. Evidently while trying to get the sleep eyes to work properly, someone chipped the right upper eye. It has been professionally repaired. When buying the doll and putting the black light inside we also discovered a hairline crack running down the back of the head from the rim down. We do not tell this lovely lady she is not perfect. Just the look on her face tells you it would hurt her. Don't you just want to pinch those lovely fat cheeks? $8,500.00.
