Kohnstam Tessie doll 14" bodyThe M. Kohnstam & Company, MOKO, a toy and doll distributor, importer and exporter was founded by MOses KOhnstam in 1867 in Fuerth or Fürth, Bavaria near Nuremberg, Germany. 

 

At a later date in London, England Moses' son; Julius Kohnstam founded the Keen Company (1913-1933).

 

The Kohnstam company is primarily known for their diecast toy products, they also distributed dolls, a marked doll has been found with both a Hermann Steiner of Sonneberg and Neustadt, Germany, HS mark plus the MOKO Bavaria mark - so H. Steiner supplied some of the Kohnstam bisque head dolls and was likely the supplier of the German Tessie doll, shown above and left. 

 

Ernst Heubach of Koppelsdorf also supplied bisque doll heads to Kohnstam.
