FINE TURN OF LAST CENTURY FELT STEIFF SOLDIER DOLL WITH ID.

This is a wonderful example of Steiff’s early five ways jointed military-themed dolls. Except for his boots and accessories, he is made entirely from felt. His head and hands are made from flesh colored felt while his uniform and hat, which are integral to his body, are made from blue, red, and light blue felt. His center seamed face is detailed with tiny black shoebutton eyes, pink rosy cheeks, and a brown painted mustache, eyebrows, and nostrils. His hair is indicated by brown airbrushing on his sideburn areas and the back of his head. Soldier’s uniform consists of a matching top coat, hat, and pants. The hat is trimmed in felt and has two decorative felt circles on it. The coat, which has faded a bit, has decorative buttons and trim on the cuffs; a few buttons have been lost to time. The pants are simple and detailed with red stitching. Soldier has oilcloth shoes, a large white leather belt, and a ceremonial sabre. The doll retains his tiny trailing F style button as his Steiff ID. Steiff made many similar styled soldiers; this one is most likely “Dragoon” who was manufactured in 28 and 35 cm from 1909-1918 overall. SIZE: 11″ h. PROVENANCE: From a fine collection. CONDITION: As noted. Coat with a few spots and small ding in sole of felt boot. Otherwise very good. 1-14591 (1,000-1,500) – Lot 1372
