    FROM THE SOURCE
    Metal headed dolls were made in Germany from 1888 through the 1930s. They were meant to be more durable than the bisque/china headed dolls but many have not survived well, having a tendency for the paint to chip and crack or the head to rust. The heads were molded from a sheet of tin (or metal) and were usually found on kid leather or all cloth bodies. Due to age and use, the bodies of the dolls did not "outlive" the tin heads, which is why it is rare to find a full doll ~ tin head and body intact.
    The most familiar name relating to tin head dolls is Minerva. They were manufactured in Germany from 1894 through the early 1930s by Buschow & Beck, a German company. The tin heads were sold separate from bodies, advertised in many old catalogues. Tin or metal head Minerva dolls were designed with painted hair and painted eyes.
    Highly collectible doll
