NOTE: This is a THREE (3) day auction.FREE SHIPPING is only offered for sales within the United StatesThese adorable Lenci Twins deserve to be kept together, having survived nearly 100 years in such wonderful condition.Both are 17-inch model # 300 Lencis sometimes describedas the School Girl or Sweater Girl and School Boy or Sweater Boy.Their beautiful features are all-original and unretouchedand they have full heads of rich light-brown mo...hair – the girl wearing pigtails(with replacement ribbons) and the boy tousled curls.Dressed in matching pale blue pullover sweaters, thesesweeties may be wearing homemade finely-knit sweaters that differ from thesweater styles usually found on the Lenci schoolchildren. The girl’s sweater is long-sleeved and wornover a Peter Pan collar felt top, while the boy’s sweater is a V-neck vest wornover a long-sleeved buttoned felt shirt.The girl’s top is attached by a button to her box-pleatedskirt, and underneath she wears felt knickers which are identical to the shortsthat the boy is wearing.They have their original leather shoes, but are wearingreplacement socks. The girl is wearing ahome-made knit beret.Condition: These dolls both have light shelf-dust andthere is some “smudging” on their faces which I have not attempted to removebecause it doesn’t bother me at all. Both sweaters have some small holes in the knit but thereis no moth damage to any of the felt.These dolls are amazing and will bring much joy to anyLenci or other doll collection that they join!Pleasesee my other auctions this week for more rare Lenci dolls and books on Lencis.Thanks for lookingand happy bidding!
