In 1895 Frederich Bensinger, the owner of the Rhenish Gummi und Celluloidfabrik Company of Neckarau, Germany gave one of his engineers the task of creating a doll from celluloid. That man was Robert Zeller, and by 1897 he had successfully developed a method of blowing steam into tubes of celluloid that were placed in a doll shaped metal mold. The process was so successful the company went into full scale production. In 1899 the Rhenish firm registered their now famous turtle trademark and named their doll making divisionSchildkrot — the German word for turtle.
Doll was made approx. 1920's – 30's
