Annette Himstedt 1998 Ltd Edition Doll #1704/2000 KERI With Box & Certificate

  
Annette Himstedt Doll - KERI. Annette HimstedtKERIStunning German made doll from Annette Himstedt in 1998. Keri was only made for 1 year and then all molds and tools for her were destroyed, making her hard to find and very valuable. Keri is fashioned after a 4 year old child in Africa and her delicate mohair has been braided. She is wearing a peach colored taffeta ribbon in her hair and also has the same ribbon tied around her ankle. Around her neck, she is wearing a twisted, taffeta ribbon with a square, orange, wooden bead. She is wearing an apricot swiss cotton dress, puff sleeves with frills, narrow matching frills on hem, apricot knickers with hems/ruffles.

She originally had fawn colored eyes but they have since slightly faded to a pale pink with age. She has sweeping, long lashes and full, lips. She has a Turning head on shoulder plate, bent arms/legs with'spezialgelenk' joints to soft body. She still wears her Porcelain year bracelet on wrist and necklace of taffeta tapes with square orange bead. She has been stored away for many years in an unplayed condition in her original box with all original paperwork.

She is hand-signed on her back and marked on the back of her neck and on all of her arms and legs. Her body and clothing are also tagged, Annette Himstedt. The mark on the back of her neck matches the number on her certificate of authenticity. Her Doll's box is in good used condition and is very large with some minimal marks and bends.

Doll will be carefully packaged and her box will be sent via ParcelForce due to size and weight. She is from a smoke-free home and is a wonderful addition to any collection. From my substantial personal collection.
