composition bodies eare pleased to offer our selection of bodies in sizes from 6" to 28" (lS-71cm). As pioneers in the manufacturing of composition doll bodies, our long experience has Wmade it possible to achieve top quality in a wide selection of types and sizes. Chances are, you will find the composition doll body that you want for your dolls from our selection. The word "composition" is a term for the material in antique doll bodies, a mixture of a vari­ ety of substances and glue. They were marketed as "unbreakable". We know now that this was not quite true. With the availability of modern materials, however, we have been able to for­ mulate a composition that is truly unbreakable and has the look and feel of the old. Because our bodies (except modern bodies) are reproductions of actual antiques, they contain the unique features and "flaws" of the originals. In most cases they are fully articulated, have good hand detail, and may be positioned in the way you choose. The skin tone matches Seeley's French Bisque® porcelain. Every body is unique, hand-made by skilled craftsmen, much the same way as the originals. Bodies are sold either strung or unstrung. Strung bodies are painted and assembled, held together at the neck with our Body BaW, ready for the doll head to be attached. Unstrung bodies are sanded but need to be assembled and painted. Instructions are included. Unstrung bodies are special orders; allow slightly longer time for delivery. To order bodies unstrung, use the part n~mbers below without the "S". Refer to the list of doll head molds under each body for selection. Dolls in parentheses are no longer available.
