ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER
GEBRUDER (BROS.) HEUBACH (Founder)
. These were shoulder heads with molded hair.1820 - 63 - LICHTE, near WALLENDORF, THURINGIA
1863 - 1930 and later - Successors of Gebruder Heubach.
According to the Ciesliks, Christoph and Philipp Heubach bought the factory of Wilhelm Liebmann in 1840. Later they made bisque heads for dolls and all-bisque dolls.
By 1894, Philipp Ottakar and Richard Heubach were the successors.
The factory was still operating in 1945.
The heads were either socket or shoulder heads and came with molded hair or wigs, with intaglio eyes or sleeping glass eyes. The size numbers range from 14/0 to 8 and perhaps beyond. The heights are at least .from 4 to 26 inches (10 to 66 cm) tall. The mold numbers appear to go from 5636, one of the most popular molds with an open-closed mouth and two lower teeth, to mold #10,633. Most of the mold numbers in the 5,000’s, 6,000’s and 7,000’s have the sunburst mark, while the mold numbers of the 8,000’s and 9’000’s are more likely to have the square mark.
Among the Heubach dolls given names were CHIN CHIN BABY, DAINTY DOROTHY, DOLLY DIMPLE, ELIZABETH, WHISTLING JIM, COQUETTE, BROTHER ANGRY, THE SINGER, and others.
Heubach supplied dolls to Cuno & Otto Dressel, Eisenmann, Carl Hoffmeister, Wagner & Zetzche and others. Au Nain Bleu sold dolls with Gebruder Heubach heads. Heubach may have made heads for GLOBE BABY dolls. Heads bearing the incised mark 1907 which is often associated with Jumeau, have also been found with the green stamp having several numbers which were associated with Gebruder Heubach. One of these heads was made of the pink bisque, a type that was known to have been used by Gebruder Heubach for some of their dolls.
1882: Sunburst mark was registered.
1894: Factory had about 400 employees.
1911: Advertised artistically modeled heads. Applied for a German patent (D.R.G.M.) for doll heads..
1912 - 13: Selchow & Righter advertised imported dolls that closely resembled Coquette and the molded bonnet baby heads made by Heubach.

Ten heights, 6 to 16 inches (15 to 45 cm); priced $1.50 to $9.00 per dozen wholesale.
1914: Marshall Field advertised tinted bisque character heads that appear to have been made by Gebruder Heubach
1915: Mlle. Zitzmann modeled some of the Gebruder Heubach heads according to the Sonnenberg Museum.
1917: The Columbus Merchandise Co. advertised bisque-head dolls that appear to resemble those made by Gebruder Heubach. One style of socket head had a laughing baby face. The body had bent arms and legs. It was jointed at the shoulders and hips. The short lawn baby dress had a matching bonnet. It also wore flannel underwear and shoes. Heights 10 1/2 and 12 inches (26.5 and 30.5 cm). Priced $24.00 and $36.00 wholesale. Another version had a molded Dutch style cap with painted flowers. It was on a bent limb composition body.
