Large antique ABG (or) KLING china doll shoulder head boy/child w/brush strokes

Description

Wonderful size boy or child china,
hard to find
Outstanding,
4 3/4" high,
antique glazed, heavy china, boy or young child china shoulderhead, (only) for cloth body doll,
circa 1890
, probably by Alt, Beck & Gottschalck, Germany (
Kling & Co.,)
with deeply molded and painted, curly
black hair
and thick curls all around,
lots of brush marks on both sides
, exposed ears, no center part, pretty cheek color and blue painted eyes with good detail including deeply molded and painted double eyelids, black eyebrows, red lid lines and wonderfully detailed mouth with center dividing line. He has well molded shoulder detail with four sew holes which has had several shoulder cracks repaired long ago. The cracks were professionally repaired, are stabilized and are all well below the head and would be covered when attached to a cloth body and dressed. He had a cloth body at one time but it is no longer present. He is being sold "as is" and shown in these first five photos.
He'll make an impressive, nice size doll. These antique child dolls are hard to find. Other china dolls shown in last photos are
not included and each listed separately.
