Hermann Steiner entered the doll
market at the end of the German bisque doll era - they began producing
dolls around 1920. They are probably best know for their character baby
dolls, which were the doll of choice - at that time.
They produced both composition &
bisque doll heads; with painted or glass eyes, molded hair or wigged, a
body of cloth, kid or composition.
Here are some Hermann Steiner dolls we have found:
