20" Antique Civil War Era German China Head Doll w/Leather Arms Attic Fresh Find

Description

This is my favorite type of antique German china head doll:
Attic-fresh, Civil War era-high brow, exaggerated hourglass figure, leather arms, firmly sawdust-stuffed body; she has black hair, blue eyes and pointy feet
This sweet-faced doll wears a tattered, almost see-through-with-age-wear button-on cotton dress, cami, button-on slip, and bloomers; all of the clothing is older, with the dress looking the oldest and the most damaged, with tatters & spots; the underwear looks pretty good in general; she has not been cleaned, but has no odd odors
The shoulder plate has that uneven thickness that you sometimes see with the very, very old china head dolls, and unfortunately it has a crack in back (see all photos); but, the crack looks old and seems stable, so it may have been glued/repaired at one time(?)  (I have a similar doll with a similar shoulder crack, and I found that a high-collared dress covers the crack nicely, so that the doll still displays well.)
Her leather hands (esp. the right) show wear & tattering, her body fabric is age-spotted and she has some hair rubs, mostly in back, but she has no leaks or tears, and her face paint is remarkably good for the age
Despite her flaws, she's a charming doll, rarer to find, and she would make a nice addition to an antique dolls collection--
