Fancouche and Her Friends
In paragraph below, which comes directly from the 1989 Gotz Doll Catalog, Sylvia Natterer describes her doll line FANOUCHE AND HER FRIENDS:

''The "Fanouche and her friends" dolls are very durable and, therefore, children can enjoy many hours of play. The high quality vinyl is washable. Head, arms, and for some dolls the legs are articulated and posable. The sweet expression of the face is intensified through the handpainted eyes. The natural looking hair is of the very best quality and can be combed and washed. Each outfit is designed by the artist individually, that each doll expresses its own personality. Each doll has the designer's name on the back of the neck "SN" which stands for Sylvia Natterer and comes with a certificate.''
