A Rare Antique German Bisque Doll, "Uncle Sam" by Cuno and Otto Dressel
Germany, circa 1895, 9 inch bisque socket head portraying an older man, having deeply chiseled details, prominent nose/ears and cheek bones. The beaming face with broad smile having blue inset paperweight eyes with thickly sculpted brows. The head marked S 3 Germany, with fully jointed body. From the Cuno and Otto Dressel series of American heroes. Note; the head is in good condition, hair glued firmly down and in somewhat tattered shape, due to condition, the clothing has not been removed, visible areas show the body intact although there are losses to the finger tips and chipping at the joints (as-is).
