The very first Simpich Dolls ever created were carolers — and so it is beautifully fitting that one of the final dolls created would be an additon to that beloved collection. Released only months before the Simpich Doll Shop closed its doors in 2006, the Organ Grinder echos the heart of those origal christmas gifts from 1952, while also showcasing all the skill Robert Simpich gained from 54 years of sculpting, painting sowing and creating characters.

What makes this particular piece truly exceptional is that it bears the signatures of both Robert and Jan Simpich, the very artists who began the Simpich journey in 1952. Their signatures elevate this already elusive piece from exceptionally rare to irreplaceable — a tangible link between the humble beginnings of the Simpich Carolers and their heartfelt finale more than fifty years later.

For collectors, the Organ Grinder is not only a masterpiece of design but also a symbol of the enduring legacy of Bob and Jan Simpich — a story that began with song and ended with a final, joyful note.
