Dear Kitty,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The presented object appears to be a German Kestner bisque-headed doll with a probable height of around 27 inches. She has a fully jointed composition body and is marked in the neck with "L 3/4 / Made in Germany/ 164". The hair and the clothing were renewed in the second half of the 20th century. The original doll was made at the beginning of the 20th century.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 80 to 180 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
George
