I'm glad you enjoyed your Birthday Shelley ..... what lovely presents. Such a very fashion-conscious doll. What's her history?

unfortunately i know nothing of the dolls history, it's rare to find anything with provenance.
I do know that her porceline head was made by the german firm armand marseille and supplied to another german firm cuno, otto and dressel who put the doll together.She will be from around 1900.

He's a Deans true to life Chimp, Karen. Think they started producing them in the 50's, i know they were definately around in the 60's. He even has his original red collar and chain lead .
