German Bisque Headed Doll By Armand Marseille ‘Henry’ Bought at Phillip Serrils Auction house while ’Flog It’ was being filmed. He has been broken at some time in his history and the head has been repainted. However I think he is still rather a handsome chap and models the Victorian christening gown, cape and bonnet very well. Though his head is made from bisque his body is composite, he is in need of restringing. An impulse buy as we got the pram we went for much cheaper than expected, he was in the cloths he is wearing, they alone are worth what we paid for him. |

‘Charlotte’ I am hoping that someone will contact me with some information about this doll! (Please!) It is made from hard plastic has moulded hair, open mouth with 2 teeth, I am guessing she is 50’s. The bonnet and cape are Victorian/Edwardian but the gown is of a later date. Marked on the back of the neck ‘Roddy’. |

Victorian and Edwardian boots and spats, the spats are in very good condition and look quite big but in actual fact they will not fit ’Rachel’ on the previous page. The little brown boots are a bit sad looking, I think they must have been well worn. |
