[QUOTE="judy, post: 4450031, member: 965"]The doll is good for parts.............. If you list her on ebay, make sure that that is how you list her......state so right in the title too. Bou is correct about dolls having diseases.........different types for different types of dolls. I don't know much about celluloid, but to me this doll head in question looks to be quite thick and sturdy for celluloid, altho I don't know what else she could be......my first thought was compo with that deep crack..........She does have the sheen of a wax doll. Here is a page from my doll encyclopedia book [ATTACH=full]382873[/ATTACH] Here is a page from my encyclopedia's doll Note the baby doll has a waxy finish as Bou noted. I agree with above poster on minimal value on celluloids. However, she is good for parts. I have no idea if the head could be repaired......could the crack be filled in somehow? Perhaps. Most celluloids I am familiar with have such thin parts, that a hole is more easily made by squeezing too hard. Happened to me quite recently, and I have been living with the horrible results ever since. Can't get rid of her tho. I'll post a photo after I take one.............[/QUOTE]
