Condition:
Antique composition doll in need of composition restoration. Composition parts (head, arms, legs) have splits, losses, and wear, as shown in pics; splits and cracks are mainly on the head and face; compo wear on the fingers and toes. Most of the hand-painted features are good, except where compo is worn or splitting. Sound box insert in back is not working. Cloth body is in quite good condition, with age discoloration and commensurate staining; one frayed opening at neck needs to be re-attached. Dress and bonnet have discoloration and staining, a few holes, frays, and missing trim. Could also use doll as is, for scary antique doll effect. Doll is being sold in AS IS condition, with needed restoration.
