ABG China head doll mold 1262

ABG, also known as Porzellanfabrik von Alt, was founded by Gottlieb Beck and Theodor Gottschalck and joined by Friedrich Alt and Christian Ernst Reinhoild in 1881, located in Nauendorf near Ohrdruf, Stutzhaus, Germany.

 

They produced antique bisque or China head dolls with kid, cloth or composition bodies,  beautifully detailed child, lady and character baby dolls, all bisque dolls, as well as decorated pottery from 1854 to around 1941.

 

Reference books have identified more than 50 mold numbers between 639 to 1304 that have been attributed to Alt, Beck & Gottschalck, most are shown with images including ABG doll marks, on their own page located here.

 

ABG is also credited with making; Baby Bo Kaye, Bonnie Babe, Bye-Lo Baby, My Girlie and (probably) Gladdie bisque head dolls distributed by Borgfeldt and K & K Toy Co.
