Catterfelder Puppenfabrik, Carl Trautmann Antique Bisque Dolls 1884+ German

Carl Trautmann Puppenfabrik (Doll Factory) was founded 1884 in Finsterbergen, Thüringia, Germany.  By 1900 Trautmann was making bisque head, ball jointed dolls of the finest quality, in 1904 they also offered mechanical pull string moving dolls and speaking dolls with bellows. 

Some Trautmann bisque doll heads were made by Simon & Halbig whose mark is initials S & H CT. In 1906 the Trautmann Doll Factory moved to Catterfelder, Germany near Waltershausen and changed it’s name to Catterfelder Puppenfabrik. It’s presumed Kestner now supplied the bisque heads for Catterfelder who made bisque socket head ball jointed dolls in black or white, bisque shoulder head dolls with kid bodies and accessories. 

By 1911 Catterfelder Puppenfabrik also made celluloid painted hair baby dolls with sleep eyes.
