Albert Schoenhut, a German immigrant, began producing piano toys in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1872. Thereafter, Schoenhut's toy production expanded to include dolls, dollhouses, blocks, and other wooden toys. In 1903, Schoenhut purchased the patent for a clown toy that would become one of the most popular American toys of all time. The first Humpty Dumpty Circus consisted of a clown, chair, and ladder. As the popularity of the circus toy increased, the company added new animals, personnel, and accessories. Like all the toys the A. Schoenhut Company made and sold, the Humpty Dumpty Circus was commercially produced to compete in the marketplace. Its design expressed a unique artistic vision. The style of the whole is unmistakably by the same hand and is easily recognized as having been made by the A. Schoenhut Company. While variations occurred over the years – caused by demands dictated by popular taste or economic pressures – its basic style remained unchanged during the thirty-two years the circus was manufactured. During the period when Schoenhut Company produced its Humpty Dumpty Circus toys, the management continually experimented with and reinvented uses for individual pieces. When popular taste or economic imperatives occasionally required a figure or animal be discontinued, the company dropped them. At other times successful solutions expanded the use of parts. This was why the Bandsmen also became the Safari Hunters in the Company’s “Teddy’s Adventures in Africa” toy. Boxes too, often functioned as more than mere containers. One clever conversion occurred when they were also used as the bottom of tents. All animals and figures were made in at least two styles, and many in additional ones. The most obvious style changes occurred between the pre- and post 1918 period. Prior to 1918, most animals had glass eyes and hand shaped (tooled) heads. Early personnel from the pre-1918 period had two part heads; the face was made of a composition-type material and glued to a wooden lathe-turned base and neck. Around 1910, some personnel were provided with bisque heads. In 1918, as a consequence of WW I, Schoenhut lost their German suppliers of glass eyes and bisque heads. As a result the company began painting the eyes of animals previously made with glass eyes, and initiated the production of the one-part head performers. In the post 1918 period, all animals had hand painted or decaled eyes and molded heads, and all late personnel had one-part molded heads. To help bolster slumping sales, in 1923 the company introduced their reduced size circus. Many, but not all personnel and animals were produced in a reduced size. Despite the success of this new line of circus toys, the company failed to survive the Depression and was out of business by 1935. About These Toys Combination Canvas Tent and Ring Personnel, Animals and Accessories – 32 pieces Humpty Dumpty Circus Packing Box * Schoenhut circus toys are American folk art - Hand tooled wood - Hand painted * Early large menagerie-style tent on a revolving dowel support - Tent is a combination circus tent and circus ring * Packing box for figures is wooden and unusual green color. - Front cover labeled Schoenhut Humpty Dumpty Circus - Inside cover labeled “Teddy’s Adventures in Africa”(In 1912 Schoenhut stopped producing Teddy’s Adventures in Africa sets in green boxes. It is likely that Schoenhut retooled the remaining green boxes for the Humpty Dumpty Circus.) * Tent, packing box, animals and circus personnel were made before 1918. Schoenhut lost its German suppliers of glass eyes and bisque heads in 1918 as a result of WWI. - All animals have unbroken, glass eyes - All clowns have early two-part heads and wooden cones under their hats - Black Dude and Hobo have early two-part heads - Ring Master and Lady Rider have bisque heads * The rarest figures in this set are the poodle, and the goat   « Less

Decorative Child's Rocker Circa 1920's with Circa 1900's Doll in orginal clothing from a Doll Collector in Ct. H:20.5" W:14" D:21.5" for Rocker. Doll is 23.5". Following the era of the ancient dolls from the Egyptian, Greek and Roman dolls of more primitive materials, later Europe became a major hub for doll production. Historically these dolls were primarily made of wood, so they were very primitive wooden stump dolls from 16th and 17th century. The Grodnertal area of Germany produced many peg wooden dolls, a type of doll that has very simple peg joints and resembles a clothespin. During the 17th and 18th Century Wax Dolls were popular and Munich was a major manufacturing center for wax dolls, but some of the most distinctive wax dolls were created in England between 1850 and 1930. Procedure was for the wax modelers would model a doll head in wax or clay, and then use plaster to create a mold from the head. Then they would pour melted wax into the cast. The wax for the head would be very thin. Later in the 1800's there was an alternative to wax and wood developed: Composition is a collective term for mixtures of pulped wood or paper that were used to make doll heads and bodies. These mixtures were molded under pressure, creating a durable doll that could be mass produced. Manufacturers closely guarded the recipes for their mixtures, sometimes using strange ingredients like ash or eggshells. Papier-mache, a type of composition, was one of the most popular mixtures. From the beginning of the 19th century, Porcelain was very much in vogue and Porcelain is made by firing special clays in a kiln at high temperature and only a few clays can withstand firing at such temperatures. Porcelain is to refer to both china and bisque dolls, the china is glazed, whereas bisque is unglazed. In Germany, France, and Denmark they created china heads for dolls in the 1840s. China heads were replaced by heads made of bisque in the 1860s. Bisque, which is fired twice with color added to it after the first firing, looked more like skin than china did. There were during this period that the French "Bebe" doll was also a popular doll. In America and England the Rag dolls made of fabric were also in vogue, since this was more popular as a child's first toy and usually made by mothers for their children. Dollmaking did not become an industry in the United States until after the Civil War in the 1860s, mostly concentrated in New England, with dolls made from a variety of materials such as leather, rubber, papier-mache, and cloth. After this period the doll makers experimented with plastics, manufactured in the 1940s. They resembled composition dolls, but they were much more durable. Other materials used in doll manufacturing included rubber, foam rubber, and vinyl in the 1950s and 1960s. Vinyl changed doll making, allowing doll makers to root hair into the head, rather than using wigs or painting the hair. Although most dolls are now mass-manufactured using these modern materials, many modern doll makers are using the traditional materials of the past to make collectible dolls. This unique hand painted American Doll from the 1900's is a fine example of an early doll with orginal clothing and seated in it's own vignette.
