Description: Antique Tin Metal Head Buschow Beck German Helmet Minerva Doll Glass Eyes Blonde. antique tin/metal head doll made by Buschow & Beck in Germany, 1888 until about 1925. Their shoulder-head dolls were marked with the word Minerva over a helmet and were called Helmet of Minerva or Shield of Minerva. They were popular play dolls around the turn of the century because they were less expensive than porcelain bisque dolls and were said to be "indestructible." George Borgfeldt and Louis Wolf were the American distributors of these German dolls and brought them to the US so they were prevalent in the US. Minerva heads were used on Sears Wearwell dolls and Violet dolls from the Sears catalog. Good vintage condition, one eye is out of socket and needs to be put back in place. Please inspect pictures as part of the description and ask questions prior to bidding, thank you and good luck!!!!
