Gebruder Olhaver Baby Doll, 12" tall, bisque
head, jointed composition baby bent leg body. |
Founded by brothers Jonny Paulas Gerhard and Hinrick
Ohlhaver in either 1897 or 1912 in Sonneberg, Germany, the
owners immortalized their names with the famous Revalo
trademark - which is the owners surname spelled phonetically
backwards without the silent HH's.
Ohlhaver's bisque doll heads came from several
porcelain factories; Ernst Heubach, Gebruder Heubach and the Porzellanfabrik Mengersgereuth,
the latter manufacturer is identified by an X
inside a circle in the marking. Gebruder Ohlhaver sold
Character Child, Character Babies and Dolly Face dolls
from 8 to 28" tall with jointed composition bodies, of which,
all are very good quality.
