Hi Lorin,
You have what is known as a frozen charlotte/charlie doll made in Germany. They were produced from the 1860's to the 1930's and were meant to be played with while taking a bath. Therefore, they are sometimes called a Bathing doll. Your doll is not signed, which is not unusual for these dolls. A few german companies produced these dolls, including Conta & Bohme, King & Simon Halbig. What's unusual about your Charlotte doll is its size. At 14-1/2 inches, it's very large. A few Charlotte dolls in the 8 inch range have sold on Ebay recently for around $200 dollars, but your particular doll might be much rarer. Here are some examples of Charlotte dolls that have sold by auction: 11 Inch Charlotte Doll Antique Frozen Charlotte Doll Antique Frozen Charlotte /Charlie Doll Black Hair It's a beautiful doll and it has a unique history. Thank you for sharing it with us. |
