Bell Ringer (1990's Design) - Carollers

$228.00

Condition: Pristine

This is a wonderful Bell Ringer from the Simpich Doll Shop, on a base stamped 1989. She is an early example of the white fur-trimmed coat, and after 37 years her condition stands out. The red felt is still vibrant with no fading, the white trim is bright with no stains, and her bell still jingles when you lift her for a closer look.

Simpich Character Dolls began in the fall of 1952, and the last dolls were made in January 2007. This Bell Ringer was made 37 years after the first Simpich doll, and 37 years have passed since. She is a wonderful example of the craftsmanship, longevity and wonder of Simpich Character Dolls.

The Bell Ringer has deep roots in that history. My grandparents, Bob and Jan Simpich, first made her in their home in Manitou Springs, Colorado, as a Christmas gift for their family. Over the years Jan refined the design. This fur-trimmed version keeps the red coat and bonnet, black satin bow and brass bell that have made the Bell Ringer a core figure in any Caroller set.

Sculpted by Jan Simpich, then cast, hand-painted and dressed in hand-sewn clothing in the Simpich Doll Shop in Colorado Springs.

Whether she’s the first piece in your Caroller set or the one that rounds it out, she’s ready to ring in another Christmas.
