The Vintage Shelf: bobble Heads

3/14/2020

0 Comments

 
      A Bobble Head doll has a head that bobbles or wobbles to and fro when tapped or jostled.  These collectible dolls are also know as Wobblers, Nodders, Bobbing Heads,  Bobbie Heads along with other names.  They don't necessarily need to be a doll, they can also be figures of animals or even a set of salt and pepper shakers,  
Vintage Nodders Bobble Heads
          Typically when people think of bobble heads, they think of the sport figures, baseball stars.  One might also remember the Hula girl bobble head seen in numerous movies, TV shows and commercials.  The one I remember is the pig that always sat on the dash of my Mom's van.

              However, bobble heads date clear back to around the 1760's- 1770's!!  There was a painting done in 1765 of Queen Charlotte in her dressing room at the Buckingham Palace which shows 2 bobble heads in the background.  At this time, bobble heads were Chinese figures according to the National Bobble Head Hall of Fame.  By the early 1900's animal bobble heads were being made in Germany.  From there they just grew in popularity and became a collectible.
