Description

Boy and girl dressed in German dress. They're jointed at the arms and legs, have blue sleep eyes with lashes, and voice boxes, I think. The girl's leg is off and she's missing a shoe.

I wish to know if they've been repainted, and their estimated age and value so I can sell them. They look very orange in comparison to other Schoenau & Hoffmeister dolls I've seen and their paint doesn't seem to be worn enough.
