Antique 1910s Armand Marseille Bisque Head Wiefel W & Co Character Doll

About the Item

"Antique early 20th century Wiefel & Company doll with bisque head by Armand Marseille, sleep eyes, composite hands, wood lengs, and soft body, marked “1908 DEP W & Co 121 AM” on back of head and dressed in a lace edged dress and floppy hat. “In 1912 Erste Steinbacher Porzellanfabrik was sold to Hugo Wiefel and renamed Wiefel & Company, thus a new doll mark was used of W & Co or W & C with or without a doll mold number. By 1914 Wiefel's manufacturing was shut down because of World War I and restarted up again in 1918, although it doesn't appear that bisque doll heads were resumed being made until around 1923. Armand Marseille of Sonneberg and Koppelsdorf, Thüringia, Germany was one of the world’s largest and best known bisque doll head manufacturers and supplied bisque heads to other doll makers in Germany and the USA."
