Founded by brothers Jonny Paulas Gerhard and Hinrick
Ohlhaver in 1912 in Sonneberg, Germany, the
owners immortalized their names with the famous Revalo
trademark - which is the owners surname spelled backwards phonetically without the silent HH's.
Ohlhaver's bisque doll heads came from several
porcelain factories; Ernst Heubach
(1919 Igodi patent swivel head by Johannes Gotthilf Dietrich),
Gebrüder Heubach,
Carl Harmus Jr.,
Mengersgereuth,
Porzellanfabrik, Robert Carl,
the latter manufacturer is identified by an X
inside a circle in the marking, as shown below.
Gebrüder Ohlhaver sold
child toddler character dolls, bent limb baby dolls and Dolly Face dolls
from 8 to 28" tall with jointed composition or kid bodies, of which
all are very good quality.

porcelain head, bent limb baby dolls, 1919 Igodi swivel head dolls, 1921 Bébé
