This authentic antique baby doll will be traveling to the United Federation Of Doll Clubs (UFDC) 77th annual convention in New Orleans to be a "helper." This donation by our club will be used to raise funds for UFDC. At the convention, the helpers are put on display and attendees buy raffle tickets and place the tickets in a box in front of the items they hope to win.
The doll is Marked "Century Doll Co. Kestner Germany." It was produced by the renown doll firm of J.D. Kestner for the Century Doll Company, founded in 1909 in New York by by Max Scheuer. The company continued in business until 1928, when it was merged with the Domec Toy Company. This adorable infant has the cutest character face with sleeping blue glass eyes and full coral lips. The head is of rosy smooth bisque, with pudgy composition hands and a cloth body. Dressed in vintage clothing, this darling doll is 16 inches long.
