And another Schoenhut doll.

 

This is a #313 Schoenhut, characterized by smooth, non-intaglio eyes.









He has had some work done previously but it is not adding to his appeal.

A red coloured filler has been used and does not seem to have been smoothed too well.

He has lots of touch up paint on his face.





One lower leg has split and is held together by tape.










He needs to get the old repaint and filler off.
Here he is with that done.
Under part of the filleron his forehead is some wood that is soft. A wood hardener will be used on that before sealing and filling his dings.










The old tape is removed from his lower leg and it is detached for easier gluing/clamping.














After applying some good carpenter's glue and some clamping, the dirty piece of tape is history.













After a bit of filling and some touch up paint he is looking more respectable?
