G &S Composition doll

G and S composition dolls,  Gans and seyfarth

I just bought this doll. I have never restored a doll before.
So here she is.....and here I go.

She is a composition doll . !8 inches tall and in need of a bit of help. I love her clothes though I guess they are beyond repair as well.....

I found all this info about these dolls below......

This is my second composition doll.........the last one Ruth I am leaving as she is, This one needs to be repaired!!!
