Beautiful old German doll with old outfit. He has jointed arms and jointed legs. He has a tight hairline just above his left eye into his hair line. These old celluloid dolls are extremely rare. red and gray cloth outfit is in good vintage used condition with minor wear note small hole on the backside of his sweater, see photo. He's a larger one. Very unique. He is about 11 inches tall. The so-called old sign mark shows a noticeably slender turtle whose feet are curiously oriented to the front, making it look more like a salamander.

FYI

By 1889, a German company had found a way to improve celluloid so it could be used for toys. The required machinery was developed, and soon dolls with the turtle trademark were sent out into the world. Between 1900 and 1910, SKoR was gradually replaced by "SkiR” (Schildkrote in Raute, or rhombus). The sequence of words now read "Schutz-Marke / Germany.” The so-called old sign shows a noticeably slender turtle whose feet are curiously oriented to the front, making it look more like a salamander. In the early 1970s the factory closed.
