Charlot Byj started out by creating her famous redheaded children and others as greeting buy cards which got the attention of Franz Goebel in the mid 1940s. The partnerships turned her artwork into three dimensional figurines and the first figurine was "Strike" in 1957. The "redheads" were designed as bouncy characters and full of life and mischief. More than 100 different figurines were designed, molded, and produced before the series ceased in 1988. This particular Redhead figurine is Strike and measures 4". It has 1 and the copyright date of 1957 incised. Retails for $88-$113. Smoke free home
