DOLL #3 - Belton Lady
This 18-inch German doll was manufactured by Simon & Halbig and bears the head marking "907." She is dressed in a rich yellow velvet ensemble featuring a matching bonnet trimmed with lace and decorative accents, cream lace sleeves and bodice details, red ribbon embellishments, and black shoes. Her brown curled hair is styled beneath the bonnet, framing a finely painted bisque face with large brown sleep eyes, delicately arched eyebrows, rosy cheeks, and a softly closed mouth.
The doll remains in good overall condition. Areas of wear are visible on the hands, including tiny chips and paint loss. The leather body has been reinforced to preserve structural integrity. The sleep eyes remain functional. Despite these condition issues, she presents beautifully and displays the refined craftsmanship and distinctive character associated with Simon & Halbig dolls.
Family records indicate this doll was purchased on eBay in 2012 for $650.
