The classic Waltzing Steiner Bebe, when the mechanism is activated she will circle the floor while raising her arms(painted metal) in a playful fashion. Although the bisque head & shoulder plate are unmarked she is unmistakably a Steiner! Fine pale bisque with delicate facial painting, light blue paperweight eyes, an open mouth w/ 2 rows of teeth and light kiln dust upon close inspection as is common with these early dolls. The white undergarment is stamped in blue ink with a shop logo. Retaining what appears to be her original mohair wig and her outfit is an older appropriate replacement. Mechanics are in fine working order with key & stop lever intact. Overall a quite presentable package with no visible issues to the bisque head or shoulder plate(wig not fully removed).
Item Dimensions: 15-1/2'' T.
