All Bisque Beauty

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The length of this all-bisque #150 character doll is 4 inches. Both legs are marked 150 on the inside face of their hip joint. On the inside of each thigh there is a 1 with a asterisk like symbol next to it. Each of the bent arms has a "0 1/" incised on the upper inside of the arm. There are old repairs to the doll's torso, left hip and right foot. Also, there is a chip repair on the right shoulder.
When dressed, the doll's imperfections are not visible. She has a sweet face with dimpled cheeks; an open mouth with two painted upper teeth; and painted blue eyes. She has a 3/4" mohair wig. She needs restringing, but she is a gem.

The composition of an all-bisque doll
This all-bisque 150 (size "1") is as we found her, wrapped in a piece of muslin in storage. She is from the doll collection of Lillian Wiskur. We made no attempt to restore her, but a prior owner at one time in the doll's history, reglued areas of her torso.	GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The length of this all-bisque #150 character doll is 4 inches.
