Great Site For Identifying Antique German Doll Marks
Tuesday September 15, 2009
I've been spending some time identifying several antique doll collections that I've received on consignment, and stumbled across this very useful German site, Puppenmarkenlexicon which has a listing of "visual" marks of antique bisque German dollmakers. By visual marks, I'm referring to marks that are not just the name of the dollmaking company and/or mold numbers, but marks that incorporate artwork and other mark information. The site is not exhaustive, and I can't read a word of the site, but it can definitely help you identify some of those antique German marks that are hard to look up in a book!

I have a rubber doll (gerber baby) whose leg has collapsed. Is there a way to regenerate or does it need to be replaced? Do you know of anyone who does these repairs?
