Kammer & Reinhardt Doll Company 1886-1932 German

The Kammer & Reinhardt doll company was formed ca. 1886-1932 in Waltershausen, Thuringia, Germany by Ernst Kammer & Franz Reinhardt.  Kammer & Reinhardt designed their dolls body and bisque heads, but most of the heads were manufactured by Simon & Halbig (which is why many dolls bare both companies mark on the dolls neck) as they did not have their own porcelain factory.  They also purchased bisque heads from the porcelain factories of Kling, Quendt & Schuetzmeister.  In 1902 they purchased the Heinrich Handwerck doll company, when it's founder passed away. By 1920 they acquired the Simon & Halbig company as well.

From 1886 to 1909 they made only dolly faced dolls  with a bisque head on a composition ball jointed body or kid, many with an open mouth with teeth.  After 1909 they made many types of dolls, both bisque or composition heads and even cloth costume dolls with wired bodies dressed in various professions.  However they are probably best known for their character baby & child dolls.

Here's some Kammer & Reinhardt  K & R dolls we have found:
