Vintage Wax-Over Boudoir Doll head and torso Celluloid Kewpie Character Head Vintage cloth limb parts Composition forearms and hands. Another mixed lot of interesting items! The Wax-Over boudoir shoulder head and torso is 24cm (9.5 inches) in length. The head is of composition, and 90% of the wax has come off. She is very pretty though, and a coating of wax would see her lovely again. The Kewpie is made of celluloid and stands 15cm (6 inches) tall. She is a fair ground type doll of Japanese origin, and is excellent condition, with no dents or holes. Very attractive! The Character Head is 5.5 cm (just over 2 inches) from crown to base of neck. He is marked OM on the rear, but I can’t work out his age – might be old, but isn’t made from any of the traditional vintage substances. Even if he’s not that old, he’s certainly interesting. The Cloth Limb parts are each about 12 cm (5 inches) in length and have obvious age. They would be suitable for repairs to a vintage cloth doll. The Composition forearms and hands are about 6cm (2.5 inches) in length. One of each left and right hands. They appear in very good condition, near identical mold types, and near identical colour wear.
