Hermann Steiner Dolls 1911-1930s+

Hermann Steiner of Sonneberg and Neustadt, Germany and in Bavaria, entered the doll market at the end of the German bisque doll era and began producing dolls around 1920. They are probably best know for their character baby or infant dolls, which were the doll of choice, at that time. A 1921 registered trademark is My Pearl doll. Hermann Steiner appears to have supplied dolls to M. Kohnstam & Company, as the MOKO mark plus the HS Steiner mark have been found. H. Steiner's London agent was Boult, Wade & Tennant and in the USA the distributor was Roth, Baitz & Lipsitz.

H. Steiner produced bisque, composition and celluloid doll heads; with painted or glass eyes, molded hair or wigged, a body of cloth, kid or composition.

Ca. 1940-1960s became Steiner & Hauser, also called Steha Doll & Toy Co. Below are antique Hermann Steiner dolls identified
