Founded by the brothers (Gebrüder) Ernst and Christian Knoch in 1877, their
porcelain factory was located at Neustadt near Coburg, Germany.
Many early Knoch doll heads are unmarked, some Gebrüder Knoch doll markings are GKN (Gebr. Knoch Neustadt), a symbol of two crossed bones,
made in Germany, a mold number, DEP or heads are marked Ges. Nr.
Gesch. with a mold number, but no trademark symbol.
Knoch
made black or white dolls, bisque head automatons dolls, in sizes of a tiny 6" to
around 24" tall.

Note the German words; gekreuzte knochen
translates in English to crossed bones, which gives you a clue as to why
Knoch might have chosen this symbol for their doll trade mark.
In 1919 the Knoch company was acquired by
Max Oscar Arnold, at which time bisque
doll head production ceased. |
