circa 1915
, cold cast composition,
portrait
doll of "
Charlie Chaplin
" by Louis Amberg & Son, New York, N.Y. will make an excellent addition to any antique and vintage doll collection as he is all original and has the most realistic, deeply molded and painted composition features with his molded mustache, matching molded, curly black hair, eyebrows, side glancing, brown eyes with hi-lites, frowning mouth with molded cheek wrinkles and
excellent coloring
. He has composition hands and
big black cloth feet, reminiscent of his comic movie roles
and wears all his original,
labeled clothing

swivel head and joints
at his shoulders and hips. His jacket has the
original sewn-on label
:
CHARLIE CHAPLIN/World's Greatest Comedian/Made Exclusively by Louis Amberg & Son, N.Y./by Special Arrangement with Essaney Film Co.
He is in very good overall condition with
some light paint wear to his hair & tip of nose and a few old repaired paint chips on his forehead, which do not distract, no
fading or holes, no odors and is from a smoke free home. (loc 46+16) Other items shown are
