Hi Ken,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Kämmer & Reinhardt and Simon & Halbig are renowned German doll manufacturers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Kämmer & Reinhardt, founded in 1886, is famous for its high-quality bisque dolls with expressive features. They often collaborated with Simon & Halbig, established in 1839, known for their finely detailed bisque heads and superior craftsmanship. Their dolls, prized by collectors, are celebrated for their artistic design and historical significance in doll-making.
K&R and S&H dolls are among the most desirable of antique dolls and it is not uncommon for the larger ones - more than 20 inches tall - to sell for low four figures when offered in specialized doll auctions.
