The following is her appraisal.Jan Foulke Appraisal for this 32-inch S & H 1249 Santa: This antique German doll is called Santa. This is a registered trademark name used by Hamburger & Co., a New York City producer, importer, and distributor of German dolls. The Santa trademarked line was produced from 1900-1910. Hamburger had the bisque doll heads made by the Simon & Halbig porcelain factory. Santa was one of the 36 dolls exhibited by Hamburger at the St. Louis Exposition in 1904; the exhibit won the Grand Prize. The Santa mold 1249 is distinguished by the triangular shading on her lower lip. Santa has pierced ears, sleeping eyes, molded eyebrows, and an open mouth with 4 upper teeth. The Santa is a popular and desirable mold to antique doll collectors. As for your 32-inch Santa doll, she has a very beautiful face. The tiny “wig pulls” on her forehead and the mold separation behind her ear, are minor flaws, and do not affect her value. Her mohair wig appears original, and is nice and full, though needs some styling. Her jointed composition body is in good condition, but has been repaired, particularly at the neck and thigh joints, and repainted. The hands have been replaced, and are too small for the size of the doll. Santa wears appropriate vintage clothing in very nice condition. Retail value $1500. Dimple in chin.Cross necklace; cross rhinestone earrings.Vintage dress, shoes, socks, wig.
