THIS IS A GREAT FELT DOLL, SHE IS FROM MY KIMPORT DOLL COLLECTION OF IMPORTED DOLLS. SHE LOOKS LIKE CHIQUITA BANANA. SHE IS ABOUT 15 INCHES TALL AND THAT INCLUDES HER HAT. SHE IS CLEAN. BRIGHT IN COLOR AND IS JOINTED AT THE SHOULDER AND HIP WITH A CLOTH TORSO. HER LIMBS ARMS AND FACE ARE FELT. ( HER HAT IS MADE OF A RAYON TYPE MATERIAL AND IT IS REFLECTING THE CAMERA FLASH AND LOOKS INCONSISTENT IN COLOR BUT IT IS A SOLID COLOR.) SHE DOES HAVE A FEW SMALL MOTH HOLES ON THE UPPER PART OF HER LEGS AND A FEW ON THE BACK OF HER SKIRT. SHE ALSO HAS ONE SMALL ONE ON THE UPPER PART OF HER ARM UNDER THE SLEEVE AND ON UNDER HER FELT SHOE. NONE OF THESE ON HER LEGS AND ARM SHOW UNLESS YOU LOOK UNDER HER CLOTHES. THE ONES ON THE BACK OF HER DRESS YOU DON'T SEE UNLESS YOU TURN HER AROUND. I HAVE TRIED TO SEE ALL OF THEM AND IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAS A LOT BUT SHE DOES NOT AND I DON'T FEEL THEY DETRACT FROM HER. HOLZER & CIE COMPETED IN BRAZIL WITH THE PEROTTI DOLL COMPANY. THEY MADE SIMILAR DOLLS IN MANY SIZES. HOWEVER NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO COMPANIES HAS BEEN UNCOVERED . THEY MADE TOURIST DOLLS AS WELL AS LARGE PLAY DOLLS. SOME OF THEIR DOLLS WERE SOLD TO MAIL ORDER DOLL COMPANIES IN THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING KIMPORT DOLL COMPANY. THE FACES AND LIMBS OF THE DOLLS HAVE A DARK FLESH COLOR AND THEIR COSTUMES ARE VERY COLORFUL. SHE IS TAGGED WITH THE COMPANY NAME ON HER STOMACH WHICH I HAVE SHOWED. SHE IS VERY SIMILAR TO A LENCI DOLL. CIRCA 1930'S.

Sailor is 14 inches tall. Has a very well preserved wrist tag. Also has a cloth lable on the bottom of his left foot. There is some fadding to his body color, but still is a great example of Norah Welling.

Golliwog. All cloth old material. Button eyes, fur hair, embroidery mouth. Pre-1930's.
