From 1902, the dolls of Kämmer & Reinhardt were titled, as well as numbered. This model, called “Mein Liebling,“ was introduced in 1914 and remained in production until 1930. Marketed abroad as “My Darling“ or “My Rose Darling,“ it became a commercial hit in the United States. The bisque head, like all character dolls of this firm, was produced by Simon & Halbig.
