These Happifats all bisque immobile cuties with jointed arms were manufactured in Germany circa 1913-on. Both dolls measure 4" in height and are stamped with a "C" on their undersides and incised "C" on the back of their left legs. Their appealing character faces are humorously painted in a style reminiscent of googly eyed dolls. Their pink toned bisque sustains minimal imperfections, kiln debris, and irregularities common to the manufacturing process. The Happifat boy suffers a paint flake on his left back armhole opening, while the tips of some of both dolls' fingers have lightened.
