Alt, Beck & Gottschalck Dolls 1854-1930 German

Alt, Beck & Gottschalck - ABG - produced bisque or china heads on kid or cloth and all bisque dolls from 1854-1930's in Nauendorf, Germany. They made beautifully detailed child, lady dolls and character babies. Reference books have identified more than 50 mold numbers, between 639 - 1304 that have been attributed to them, although they could be used by other manufacture's like Simon & Halbig, some of which are being reproduced today by doll artists. Reproduction molds will be much smoother than the original old bisque, that feels slightly rough to the touch.
