The Classy Kid Collection is proud to be able to offer you a 29" composition doll made by the K and K Toy Co. in 1924, marketed by George Borgfeldt & Co. She is appropriately marked on her shoulder plate. Please click on images for larger views.

Goerge Borgfeldt & Company was located in New York (1881 to the mid 1900s) and was an importer and assembler of dolls. They did not manufacture their own dolls. They held the distributing rights to many dolls from European manufacturers such as: Handwerch, Kathe Krause, Kestner and Steiff. They also distributed American dolls for Cameo Doll Company, Aetna Doll Company, Bergfeld & Son, Dreamland Doll. They are best known for commissioning and distributing Rosie O'Neill's Kewpie Dolls and Grace Putnum's Bye-Lo dolls. George Borgfeldt is also responsible for the putting the Steiff bears in mass production. Some of the dolls will have the marking from the manufacturer. Such is the case here. The K and K mama dolls are very rare and hard to locate. They were advertised in the 1924 Butler Bros catalog. This is only the second one I have every come across.
