A most informative introduction by Dorothy Coleman, a leading antique doll authority, reviews this catalog and defines the codes of identification used by Kammer & Reinhardt. “This is a particularly valuable company for which to have a catalog because they made entire dolls, dolls’ heads, dolls’ parts, dressed dolls, large dolls and small dolls, even dolls’ house dolls. Their dolls have bisque heads, celluloid heads, rubber heads and several types of composition heads as well as a wide variety of body types. There are dolls of various ethnic groups, flirting-eyed dolls, roguish-eyed dolls and walking dolls. Some of the dolls are types that had been made for many years and others had more recent origins. The many pages of dressed dolls are of great value to students of dolls in original clothes.” “All collectors dream of locating a heretofore unknown contemporary catalog that illustrates examples of their special interests. This dream was realized by doll and toy enthusiasts Margaret and Blair Whitton when they found this comprehensive 1927 manufacturer’s catalog for Kammer & Reinhardt…There are many reasons for considering this Kammer & Reinhardt catalog important, particularly for collectors of dolls and pincushion busts (tea cosy heads).
