Circa: 1981
Manufacturer: Hobby House Press, Inc. Maryland
Given 254 black-and-white photographs, this early out-of-print book is an invaluable identification guide to antique German character dolls including information on marks.
THE COLLECTOR’S DIGEST OF GERMAN CHARACTER DOLLS by Robert and Karin MacDowell, Hobby House Press, Inc., Maryland, 1981.
Considering the scarcity of fine authentic examples of antique dolls of all types, and especially the lack of concise photographic material, a book of this type is an indispensable reference. Among the dolls illustrated, including marks, are the following: Franz Schmidt & Co., Gebruder Heubach, Heubach/Koppelsdorf, Kammer & Reinhardt, J.D. Kestner, Armand Marseille, Simon & Halbig and many more. Most of the dolls included are shown fully dressed in their original clothes, also undressed for viewing body construction. Close-ups of the faces illustrate detailed modeling and painting. Remarkable close-up shots of the marks and almost every doll is extremely valuable. In addition, in many cases the marks have been drawn to further facilitate identification. This is a must-buy book for the serious collector, dealer, or historian of antique vintage dolls.
5.8 in. x 9 in. softback in very good condition. 148 pages.
