I love that you put this on a video. I have alway’s thought that it is amazing how these little doll’s have lasted so long. I am wondering if there is a way to repair the carrack’s that sometime’s are on these doll’s.
There is a way, it is detailed in the book "Celluloid Dolls, Toys & Playthings" by Julie Pelletier Robinson, but I haven't tried it. It involves dissolving scrap bits of celluloid in acetone, then using it to fill in the cracks.
@@vintagedollcollector4828Hi, have you ever done restringing on a Schildkrot Inge doll? Besides the rubber strings and the holes in her arms and legs, inside there's a small piece of plastic. This small plastic has a hole, and the knot goes inside the arm or leg. At this point my problem is that you cannot take out the small piece of plastic through the hole without cutting a slot....or you might have a better idea...anyway thanks so much www.dropbox.com/s/8aby19qyuanj5t6/IMG_0680.JPG?dl=0
I haven't done one of those and I see what you mean by your photo. I have repaired dolls where the concave part of the arm (the part with the hole in it) was broken so there was nothing to anchor the knot. In that case I took a cardboard pate made for a small doll, trimmed it around the edge so that it would fit inside the concave area, poked a hole in it, pulled the elastic through the hole and tied my knot, then glued the pate in place. I used water soluble glue so that the repair could always be undone in the future if a better solution came along. Maybe you could do this and leave out the tricky piece altogether? Just a thought - maybe somebody else has a better suggestion.
