A German bisque socket head doll incised "S 3" and manufactured by Cuno & Otto Dressel. Exceptional molding to the bisque facial features, glass eyes, on a jointed composition body. This example is the turn of the 20th century characterization/interpretation of "Uncle Sam". Obviously this doll was made for the American market as was often the case with many toys and dolls that were made in other countries. Typical patriotic garb with striped red and white trousers, vest, and shirt with applied stars as well as the all to classic stove pipe hat. Not only does this doll appeal to doll collectors but all those that appreciate the patriotic nature of this piece! Overall bisque head is free of damage. Very good plus condition with some typical fading to colorful outfit. One composition leg needs to be reattached or restrung.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: 14".
