Condition:  Face is in pretty good condition with some visible cracked spots; one on the cheed and beginnings of some spots on eyes.  On the top of the head there are spots where the glazed paint has been cracked off with other spots of crackle.  Please view photos for areas on the coompostion head that needs repair  At first glance the baby looks just fine but as you can see it does need some repair.  He is cute as a button and the eyes are kinda evil in a cute sort of way.
I did not try and wash the cloth body and as you can see from the photos needs stitching around the feet areas.  The hands are tiny and missing one finger.
