Do you know any more history of the dolls? Yes, the wig is supposed to be glued on. It looks like an old mohair wig, and they were usually glued on with hide glue. It can be gently soaked off with warm water, if you want to remove it. Can you make out any other letters or markings on the smaller doll? Your Schmidt has a delightful face! The dolls with molded/painted hair were meant to represent babies, and weren't meant to have wigs, but some did. She looks like she would have been on a bent-limb body like your smaller doll. Are you sure the doll hasn't been pieced together? The head looks out of proportion for the body, although some doll factories and distributors made up dolls that way (rather than using a different head mold) so she may have come that way from the factory. The heads/faces can be cleaned with soap and water. Use a qtip and be gentle around the eyes and mouth. The bisque is very thin around the eye sockets, and too much pressure can break it. You also don't want to get water inside the heads around the eyes. Eyes are mounted with plaster of Paris, and they can fall out if wet. As a general rule, don't use any water on the body. Parts are made of carved wood (forearms, arms, ball joints) some is composition (hands) and some is paper mache (torso and legs.) Water can damage all of these things. You can use a dry microfiber cloth to get off surface dirt, and if it's still really grimy, you can use a soft eraser- a pink pencil eraser from the dollar store works fine. Storing them in a climate controlled environment, out of direct sunlight is best. I'd be careful with them on top of a bookshelf. If they fall off, it's all over!

Wendy Tobias is a member of the American Girl Doll group and she sells all kinds of wigs...you could go to yahoo groups and sign up at the AGBuddies to see a list of her wigs or email her at clsact@whidbey.net ...she will also give you instructions on how to measure your doll for a wig....I have also seen lots of wigs on ebay..I have never bought aything from her so I can't vouch for quality, availability, etc etc....

Mom is sick and we have to liquidate her doll molds, eyes, clothing and wigs. I have a complete listing of all of the dolls. As far as I can tell all doll bases are complete with head, chest piece arms and legs or with head and full porcelain body. There are roughly 47 different dolls. Some of course will share the same body. I believe that most of the molds are new, a few may have been used a couple of times. We also have about 100 assorted bottles of GARE ceramic paints with the rack. You Haul -You Take All and they are yours absolutely free of charge.
