Full Lot Description
Grecon miniature vintage rare Exotic Dancer cloth doll, German, 1920s, hand written to wooden base Grecon, wool-bound wire with cotton face, embroidered features, woollen wig, black lace dress (to cover her modesty!), Excellent Plus to Near Mint, 4.5"/11.5cm tall. N.B. Grecon was registered initially by Grete Cohn in Berlin, Germany. The trade-mark name was used for the production of miniature dolls and doll's house dolls. Many of these early dolls were stamped to their wooden bases with D.R.G.M. Grecon. Post World War Two the dolls continued to be made in the UK (as being of Jewish origin Grete Cohn fled Germany to make her living in premises in Streatham High Road, London).
