I bought these from an elderly lady who lived across the street from us in Pasadena, Texas in 1991.
She told me she bought them from the lady who made them in Germany before World War II.
Her purchase of the dolls was sometime in the 1960s-70s.
She told me she used them in teaching Children’s Sunday school illustrating people of different nationalities.
They are hand pressed and molded muslin with hand painted features and footwear.
Some have what appears to be human hair on their heads, others are molded and painted.
The costumes are handmade and detailed.
There is some wear and tear simply due to age, even though they have been packed away for 30+ years.
We have 4 pairs of dolls, each is listed separately.
