KISTER, (PHOTOS # 21 & 22).AW KISTER WAS ONCE PARTNERED WITH DRESSEL. THIS EXAMPLE HAS SIMILAR ATTRIBUTES TO PORCELAIN HALF DOLLS BY AELTESTE RUDOLSTADT AND GALLUBA HOFFMAN AS WELL. I PURCHASED THIS AMAZING HALF DOLL @ 1995, AND HAVE LOVED IT FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS. IT IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE LIKE THIS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN.
