The first patent taken on these dolls was in 1904 and various sources state there were from five to eleven patenrs in toral, including one issued in Germany. Ite dolls' indestructible mtu.e was .lways emphasized in the company's adverrising. Accordina to legend. a fa(tory worlerclaimed a truct ran overone of rhe dolls,but it was not damaS€d, and it was putback into the Reports claimed fie factory ws tuming out &000 dolls a year, with a dozen workers. If this is so, it s€ems likely rhar Miss Ella must have relied on some of her workers to help wirh the
painting. B€cause Alabama Babies were hand paint€d, there are consid€rable vanadons. One source states that the early dolls were painted with white l€ad available from a paint store, and then given a flesh color at the factory. Hair color varies from blonde with brown sheaks to dark brown. Eyes, eyebrows and eyelashs vary tremendouly. Thes€ features can be done with a light hand or done alnosi to excess with hea!.), brows, "Tamy Faye" eyelash€s and very dark brown eyes. Brown eyes predominated over blue. Heads wer€ molded of heavy fle€.e lined cloth or stockin€tte and reinfored with plaster of Paris. The head was stitched down the back of the head, althouSh, because of the thick layers of paint, this is often difficult to se. The one-piece head, neck and shoulder-plate was fastened to the torso. Again, there can be variations in the molding which make the dolls quite hrer6ting. 22

--ez.G2: ;r_!2,>< --eA7-= -,r\r3,.:-y An unusual Alabama Baby pictured here has separate fin8ers, a feature v€ry rarely fomd, and ther only on the early examples. In the October 1999 'Atlantique City' DoU and Bear exhibit (Antique Doll Collector, Vol.3 No- 2 ) th€re was . large Alabama Baby, also with separa[e finSes. Typi.aU, Alabarna Babi€s have large hands vrith fingers that ar€ stitched but not separate except for the thumb. The doll picturcd has very pronounced s€paEte, applied ears and dark eyes, the pupils and irises being nea.ly the same color. The interesting variatioB probably indicate early experimentatioo or perhaps
Another doll that indicates early experimenlation is pictured below. At a glance, it bears resemblance to a doll by IzaMah Walker, and in fact, the head construction (note the stitching between the fmnt and back halves of the head) is similar to dolls made by Izannah walker. The doll's lar8eblue eyes are lacking the char.cteristic "Tammy Faye" lashes, and the fingers, although not entirely s€parate, are much inore defined than the iypical Alabama Baby. Fortunately there are two distinguishinS features that make it fairly simple h identify Alabama Babies from - dolls were stuffed fror the tops of their heads and have stitched circular crownr and the ears were applied. Later, the ea6 were molded with the head rather than *parately applied.

DesiSned by prolific dol sculptor Bemard LipfEt, the composition Shirley Temple doll had signatu€ dimples in her che€ks, s?e.ial hazel color sleep eyes, golden btonde mohair wi8 in her famous ringlet style, and open mouth with six teeth and a felt tongue. Mo6t of the dolls are marked "Shirley Templ€" on the head md body alon8 with Ideal and their size. The dolls came in several sizes between Il" and27 imlrdingll",13",16",17", m" ,22" , 25" , and 27" . Tne most common sizes are 13" and 1E." Over one and a har miltidr Shirley dols were sold from 193+1939 md many have sutuived in exellent.mdition. The Shirley Temple doll's enomo8 sat6 reflecd the child star's popularity and made miliom for th€ ldeal Toy Company and saved the €ompany from financial ruin in the mi&t of the Depression. One of the reasons that not all Shirley dols are marked "Shnby Temple" is that in the midst of her popularity, Ideal bought dol parts from other dol manufacturers to keep up with th€ denand. Tlius we do original Shirley dols withoui the "Shnhy

Temple dol came in the Septemb€r 1934 Pl,ylr,,8s Mnqrzitre (the toy industry's hade joumal). It read: "Shi ey Don. Shirley has same well-shap€d body, legs ed ams as 'Ginger'. N& Ideal double a.tion glace eyes and lashes, has wig in .hoice of bMette, blonde, or aubum. Vanety of .6tum6 in pinlg blue, mai2€, Sreen or white." fie Mme Shirley Temple was not mentioned no. that she was a ilm star. In October 1934 Ideal ran itss first ad for Shnby in Playll,i gs which included the infomation that the Shirley Temple dol w6 so popular Ideal didn't have time to send out samples to the stor6. Furthd infomation stated that Fox Films was helping to pomote the doll wih display material md admission tickets for stor6 to use fo. Fomotions including contests for the Sirl who best r€sernbled Shirley. F(N sia of the new dol were available retailhg at $3, Ss, $5, and $7. 27
./rir'./ J rz//,i. Ideal issued the Shirley doll in outfits that were exact replicas of dress€s Shirley Temple wore in her movies "Stand Up and Cheer." "Littlest Rebel," "Curly Top," and "Our LittleGirl." Each d.ess had a woven label featuring her siSnature s€wn hto the seam and came with a signed photo of Shnky in the box. ln 1934 Shirley was issued in a long dress from the film "The Littte Colonel." This remains a favorite with collectors with its pantalooB and fancy boMet. Lucky little Sirls could also obtain Shirley in a trunk filled with clothing from her movies. The wardrobe trunk was available in three sizes retailing for $5, $8, and
nee and pictures on all sid6. Ideal was *lling thousands of Shirley dolls by this time and Ideal had li@nsd factories from all around the world to make the Shirley dolls. These companies includedi Reliable from Canada; Hiios Frandsco Merin Perez from Spain; Ri.hards, Son & Allwh from England; Printernps Sapac from P.ris; and S. HoffnunS; & Co $11, and had stickers of Shirley's
Ii 1936 the Shirley fa@ mold was (hmged. The ldeal ads in Piaylri,3s said that the Cape Cod SlickE (featured h Captain ,anuary) was being sold separately. Coming was a new Shirley don at a new price to celebrate her birthda, April23rd (she'I be 7). In reality, Shirley was one yed older thm the studio let on.
ln March 1935 Pr.ytrr,Ss featured an hteruiew with Moris Michtom, Prcsident of the Ideal Toy Company. Mr. Michtom had retumed from an l&day trip in Holllvood visitinS Shirley Temple. The arhcle quotes Mr. Michtom who was most impress€d by "the natural sweetness and happinessof the child". "She is intellig€nt, t@. Acting is not work for Shirley Temple, in fact she regards it as so much play. An in ident which showed her intelligence and judgment (tured one night when I was at dimer with the Temples. I turned to Shirley and asked her a question which has often t'een put to me, 'How is it/ darlin& when you are acting you are never pictured with a Shirley Tenple doll like yourselP' Quick as a flash she answered, 'Oh, Mr. Michtom, you wouldnl want me to do tha! it wouldnl be nice- it would be too much like advertising, and you can't do that in a picture.' I had to agre, she Mr. Michtom had negotiated with the Temple family and her aSents for the riShts to produce the Shnby doll.

Prices for Shirley depend on condition of the doll/ rarity of size, and
nrity of outfit. Condition of the omposition is very important. B€cause it is made of wood pulp and glue, it is subject to crackinS and crze if exposed to extremes of temperature. Colltrtors should look for Shirley with her oriSinal rin8let hairdo, original clothing, miniml crazing, and clear eyes since the eyes tend to get cloudy. The doll is worth more if the original box and button are Present. Shi ey dous range in pn(e ftom $6m b Sr,800, wilh lhe t 1 inch and the larger 27 inch being the rarest sizes to find. Coll(to6 should be awar€ that with these dolls comanding high p.i.6, reproductions will be made. Currently, there is a gentleman in Texas who i5 making reproduction compGition Shirley Temples. However, he do6 sign them on their sho€. Howeve., mscrupulous dealers my .emove the shoe, so please be awar€. I have included a photo of her so that collectoE can R how faithtul the reproduction is.

commercial avenues. While the motivation for s€ttinA up the "Privilegium" was commendable in that the Verlegers were onginally expected to treat their workers well/ in fact the results were disastroug as the system tied the workers to the merchants. From the Privilegium, a group known as the "Sonneberg Society" developed. 'Ihis b€came a virhral guild of Verlegers, which met once a week to control trade. Everything that happened in the town was overseen by the 27 merchmts who had been awarded the Privilegium by Duke Georg. Tleir wives set the tone of the town, socialized only with the families of olher members and ensured that their children in0ermanied to consolidate their business€s. Though there is much to critici2, in the way they ruled the town, they did €ncourage development and their expertise meant that, aft€r the Napoleonic Wars, Someb€rg wares were again exported, help€d by the building of

cenler. One of ihe Nuiemberg wood carvers introduced bismuth paintin8 to the small town at the end of the sixt€enth century, which transformed the simple woden igure6 and eventually made the
tem "Someberg toys" synonlmous with ch€€rfln, bright colo6. The small toM would have .emained a minor Nu.emt erg supplier, had not the Thilty Yea$ Wd dis.upted aI lhe Eurcpem trade routes. With the loss of Nurember8 o.ders, the Sonnebergers were forced to market their own toys and set up import houses in various countries. From carrying their wooden dolls and toys in baskets to neighboring towns, the Sorn€be.gers mad€ the transition from makers to merchants and b€gan to market toys from other areas in a wide range that included briShtly painted guns, rattles and skittles. Bread dough began to be us€d in dollnaking around 1740. This was a simple method, ideally suited to homeworkers. The cheapest flour and 8um, dissolved in water/ were mixed together and the resulting material pressed onto wooden bodies. Those who b€came skilled in the pro.ess of dou8h modeling were Lnown as "Bo6sierers" and formed themselves into a restrictive guild at the end of the eighte€nth cenhrry. ln 1789 a new system was inkoduced, the "PrivileSium", the "Privilege of Trade", which restricted the Verlegers' role. They were no longer allowed b manufachre; their role was purely that of the merchant, who was also exp€cted to introduce new designs from other countries, set up exhibitions and Buide Sonneberg prduction into the most 38

were as relu.tant to accept.hanSe as the Verleger, and when, for instance, Adolf Fbischmann sct up a doll factory, they stormed rhe buildihg and smashed his machinery and molds. ln 1862, the whol€ scene was chanSed by the "Freedom to Exerci* a Trade Act" that was introduc€d ac.o6s the whole of the German Reich. This theoretically sweptaway the old rules and allowed anyone to set up a factory. ThouSh the Verleger.re often criticized, they inaugurated many changes that helped make Sonneberg an efficient center of commerce. Part of the town was destroy€d by fire in 1840 and this encouraged turtner expansion. Eetw(rn 1845 and 1872, a new waier plant, a gas works and a s.hool of trade were opened. The S.hooloflndustry was established in 1883 to teach woodcarving, nodelin& paintingand m(hanics.Il was this sch@l that wd .esponsible for oeatinS the exhibition of Sonneberg industris at St. Louis and Paris that included the surviving tableaux ofa Thuringian market. Samples given to the S(hool of hdustry were eventually to form the nucleus of the world renowned Toy Museum, which was first sei up in 1901 and now provid€s an unsurpassed visual exploration of doll produciion in the town. Ihe materials u!€d by the Sonn€bergcrs dung€d in the 185Os, when they set up porcelain facbries, somewhat reluctantly, as higher wages were paid in these new potieries. D6pite advanc6, the traditional methods were continu€d, so heads were painied at home and papier mach6 limbr bodies and wiSs were also made. 'Ihe Verleger maintained their influenc€ by s€tting up facton€s themselve md, for insian@, renthg out sewing machines, the rent to be deducted frcm each batch of clorhes or bodi6 detiverEd. The Lindner family ran its succestul operation on similar outworlhg methods. Their worl is recorded in suNiving cataloguB at the Sonnebers Museum/ the earliest datinS to around 1830. The dolls are typical papier mach6s of the penod but, by l&11, some of the leather hldies had joints at hip and knee and kid arins. Their 1880s range includes €omposition infants with opening and .tosing jaws, dres*d in the simple chemi* tFi.al of the sccaled Taufling. As none of these dolls are marked, examples can only be described as "Lindner typ€" a feature typical of so many Sonn€ber8 firms. Som€ bisque heads that were Bp€cially made for Lindner by Simon & Halbig around 1900 are recorded and carry the marks "L.L. & S" as well as Simon & HalbiS. Despile the lack of fully attributable work, the firm was one ot the leading Sonneb€rg mer.hant families, traveling the world to brina new ideas back to the town. As in Waltershausen, the most successtul Verleger who hmted, feasied and traveled the world iogether lived like prin.6, o$'nin8 the fist motor caE and living in mansions on the southem side of Sonneberg. Periodic down-turns in the economy $metimes briefly affected them, though it was a styte rhey enioyed util the 1914-18 War. Its economi. aftermath dealt a death blow to a style of life that was p€r(ed for thee privileged families, who6e sons were sent to expensiv€ foreign rhools and on world tours before they were expected to marry within their own circle and run the family busin6s. Known in Sonrpberg as the "Casino &riety", the mer.hant "princes" controlled everything that went on in the town, from camivals to art exhibitions. Through lodges, societies and drinking clubs, the structure of their society was rigoroWly maintained. Unlike Waltershausen, where a few creative families produced adventurous dolls, the SomeberSers concentrated on cheaper lines but in a vast sele{tion. I'ough dozens of doll makers a.e recorded, only a few are of special interesr Heinrich Stier who fi.st int.oduced balliointed dolls toThuringia, Baue.& S€hmidt, who made lealher dolls, C.rl B€Bne., who made mulh-faced dolls and the elusive Mots.hmam, who was certainly a papier machd maker and produced voice boxes.

The most important, and one of the oldest firms, was Cuno and Otto Dress€l, who we.e markehng Grtilnenals in the 1830s, as well as Sonneberg products. By the 1870s, the firm was s€lling dolls of wax, wood, papier mache and chha. Though this very succesful .ompany employed its own artists d s.ulptors, who wo.ked in their vast factory buildings, many dollsand doll parts were bought in bdk hom makers in other towre. B€aus€ Clno and Otto Dressel sold such a vast selection of dollr in the fin6t to the cheapest qualitis, the firm is not as reve.€d as Kammer & Reinhardt, despite its phenomenal succ€ss and wealth.
Sonneberg's nany sainple rooms etibited dolls f.om dozens of makers, particularly th@ of Arm d Ma.seille, whose factory was within walking distance, at Kdppelsdorf. A.thur S.hoenau, Paul S(hmidl Heinri.h Stier, Swaine and Co. and Gebrnder Ohlaver are among the best known Sonneberg mke6 but supporting the more important mer.hants were scor€s of smaller concerns that specialized in costum€s, made dolls' bodi6 in leather or fab.i./ c.eated voice boxes, ckxkwork devi.es, wi8s or swimminS fi8u.6. From celluloid to flannel, (haracter heads to waxed ladies, there were factories to compete with and copy any new designs s€en in Nry York or Paris. Foreign merchants, such as Borgfeldt, also set up their own operatjon in the town to contml production and by r90o Someberg ws a busy international hading center. Despite grim working conditions, the Sonneberg toys and dolls Present the more ioytul asp<ts of lo€al cha.acter, as the frequent camiv.ls,.i.cl6 acts, magicians, displays ofwaxworks and Panoramas that mtertained the townspeople inspired many designs. The cymbal-clashing clowns, the witch'like Aypsy dolls, gaudily dress€d wax soldiers, hand .lappin8 and hat doffing black mm, squeaking pink babies.nd music haU beauties reveal the earihy and sometimes bawdy side of peasant character. CollstoF dd au.tion houses tend to des(ribeany pappr mach6 German toys and dolls thatare unmarked as "SomeberS" and, though imp.ecise, the des.riphon is a .ontinuahon of the old tradition. Sonneberg merchants afler 1852 both manufa.tured and bought in dolls and toys rmm other areas, forming by 1900 a valt erport hous€ always visited by Amencan buyers before they went on to lhe bi8 annual Leipzig Toy Fai..

he year is 1915 and C,ermany, alonS with many other European counhies, is in the midst of World War l. Cermany, now geared up to fight the war, is no lonSer producing dolls; instead a.onstant battle is being wagcd with its
European neiBhbo6. To make matters worsc, Gemany's si ing of the Lusitania -L has.auled mti{ema sentiment k) 6calateand nany people will not buy Geman products. For the time being, German dolls, stckpiled in European warehouses, are still being shipped to the United Stat6. However, doll and toy importers here in the United States are, with much justification, concemed- Prior to the war, Germany supplied the ma,ority of the bisque dolls sold in Ame.i€a. Now that source of Soods is on the verge of beinS .ut off. whe.e will the importers 8et the bisque dolls wanted by the Amen an public? There is really only one viable altemtive - the lapanes€ and their Nippon dolls.

Thus the Nippon era b€8an, lastinS until 1921 when the United States goveEmmt revers€d its pcition and de.ided that Nippon was a rapanele word. As ol September 1,1921, all nerchandis€ coming in from lapan had to be marked "rapan" or "Made in Jap " not "Nippon." Therefore, if an item is inarked "Nippon," it was made between
,.
1891 and 1921.
During the early 1900s, rapan had a larBe wilinS labor force and they were amious to jump on any oPPortunity to exp d into as mmy markets as possible. The advent of World War I opened the d@r for them to begin manufacturinS the bisqu€-headed dolls needed by doll and toy importers, catalog rner.handisers, and lhe large department stors. The lapanese had long b@n Ioown for their ability to coPy European ware6, especially tho6e made of porcelain. It was a logical step for thelapanese to beSin ptoducing all-bisque md bisqueheaded dolls as well aschildren's po.celain products such as tea sets and feding dishes. Thus, wiih World war I raging in Europe, the era ofNippon dolls v,tl begun.

t first, the lapanee had a diffi.ult hme making the dolls wanted by Arericans and many of their fi6t products were unusable. B€.ause of this, the maior Ame.i€an doll importers such as GeorSe Borgfeldt & Louis Wolfe & Co. and Haber Brothers- sent repres€ntatives to Iapan to provide advice, assistance and samples of -Co.. what prcducts were desired. An arhcle in a 1917 issue of the trade publication Plavlrirgs notes that "experts were engaged, who knew just what was wanted, and w€r€ sent to lapan with iretruchore to build a ,actory for the manufactu.e of dolls."

It was a Sood thing that the lapanes€ persevered. ln 1912 the United Stales decla.ed war on C,€rmany and Cerman were completely cut oft. Anh4erman 'mporls sentimentwas so strong that little girls were encouraged to replace their Ge.man dollies with somethinS more pahiotic d the dolls from Japan would be that replacement. The rapanese copied many of the mo6t popular Geman dolls. The Kestner Hilda (mold no. 245), the Heubach pouty nold no. 6969, and the Hertel, S.hwab & Co. mold no.151 are iust three examples.In fact, the Morimura Brothe.s'Baby Ella charact€r doll beaE . st iking resemblance to Kestner's Sammy chara.ler doll (mold no. 2r1).Ifyou look through any of the doll books, you will note a distinci similarity betwen the Nippon dolls and dolls produced by companies such as A.mad Ma.s€ille; Heitel, S.hwab & Co.; Franz Schmidt & Co. and K6tnerrhe Iapanese made both socket d shoulder plate bisque heads with a variety of bisque 6nish€6 including sme rare "oily" bisque finishes. They also made both open mouth and closed-mouth dolls, dolis with wobble tongues, dols with 8lN or painted eyes, do s with piercd nctrils and dols with a crying mnhmbm in their heads. If the Crrmans mde a certain 9?e of doll, then it is likely the Japeese made a similar g?e. Ihe one ex.eption appears l,o be dolls with pierced ears. To dak, none have b€€n fomd on Nippon dolls.

Then bisqueheaded dolls bear the "MB" mark ad re marked "lapan" evm though they w€re aI produed duing the Nippon era. Little informahon is available about the other comPanies producing Nippon bisqueheaded dolls. Much of the infolmtim in ,apan was dAtroyed duing world War I md lluy .ompani6, both rapanese and American, failed to k@p good records. Of course, many of thes€ .ompani€6 arE no longer in business, which makes it even tougher to get iflformation. Mo6t of what we know today is through publications like Plry,ri"Ss which has some wonde.tul advertishents for Nippon dolls. There are a mmber of different symbols found on Nippon dolls that may Eprest either the company that made the doll or perhaps the importer- We a.e not really sure what comPan es most of tle syrnbols are asrdiatcd with. We do know that, like the Cem dolls, the mold numbers usually stand for the t}.e or l@k of the doll and/or the size but therE are sme istancs where no mold or size number is marked on the do[. There is some inconsistmcy in the markings of the dolls and therefore, it is pogsible to find two dissimilar dolls with the same mold nmber. Also, over the years, doll molds were $metimes changed or refined, so two dols with the sme mold number may not be the same size or l(lk *actly alike.
Two of lhe more commonly found symbols are the "FY" and the "lsrolledlFY" which arebetieved ro be the marks of Yamato Importing. Yamato lmporting did not advertise dols unnl 1919 but it is clear from advertisemenis in Pl4lln,gs that Foulds & Freure was importing dolls with the "FY" and "[scrolled]FY" symbols as early as 1917. The "FY" and "ts.rolledl FY" symbols can be foud on dolly-faced child dolls, character babies, shoulder plate child dolls on cloih bodies and the much-sought-after pouty character doll ("FY" mold series 300). Their dolly-faced child dolls with ball-,ointed bodies (mold s€ri6 400) and the solid dome-head .haracter baby (mold se.ies 500) were obviously manufactured and sold in larSe quantities as they are one ofthe more commonly
Another.ommon symbol for Nippon dous is the "RE lin
a diamondl." We do not know who the manufacturer wasbut we
know that lruis Wolfe & Co. imported some of the Nippon dolls with this ma.k. ln fact, he us€d a shoulder plate head with this symbol on his Superba line of imitation kid-bodied dolls. Many of t}le "RE [in a diamondl" dolls are character babies and this mark is foud on the Nippon look-alike of Kestner's popular Hilda doll. In 1919, Louis Wolfe & Co. advertised ]apan@ dolls modeled after the old German dGigns e it is po6sible they were importing many of thes€ dolls. "RE lin a diamondl" dolls were also eld through the Montgom€ry Ward cataloS. al
ome of the more sought-afrr Nippon dolls are those of the Nippon E. I. Horsman Co., Inc., mark In 1919, Horsman joined forces with Fulper, an Amencan pottery company, to produce bisqueheaded dous. By the fall of 1919, Ho6man and Fulpe. were havin8 disa8reemenh over the pricirg and marketing of the doll heads. Thisconflict would result in Ho6man tuming to the lapan@ for bisque doll heads. With this information now available to u9 we know that the Nippon Horsman heads were made sometime afte. the fallof 1919. Because they were produced for su.h a short period of time, Nippon Horsman dolls are fairly difiicult to find. They are popular wirh bolh Horcman and Nippon doll collecto.s. while most Nippon bisque-headed dolls range in size from 8 inch6 to 24 inch6 iall for the composition-bodied child dolls and 8 inch6 to 18 inches fo. bent-limb babies, collectors can find eme.hild dolls as large as 28 inches tall md sme babi6 as large as 24 inch6 iall. Thes€ la.Ber dolls are harder to find than some ofthe mid'size Nippon dolls. Many Nippon bisque-headed dolls were rnade in more than one size. For example, Mo.imura Brothers produced thei. "Full Iointed Doll" (a bisque-head€d dild doll) in 16 different sizes ranging from the smallest at &1/2 inch6 tall to the lar86t at 28 inch6 tall. The maiority of the Nippon doll make.s were not so ambitious and their dolls .ame in or y fou. or five sizes. Carl Silverman advertised that his BIue Pibbon Baby was available in "five sizes to reiail toom $1.m to $6.m." The Tajimi Company adverhsed that Baby Lucy was available in l0-inch,l2'inch, 14-inch, 16-inch and l8'inch sizes.

bisque arm from sli8htly below the elbow on down. The dolly-faced .hild dolls (scket head tpe) are most often found on ball-jointed composition bodies and the.haracter babies are usually found on composihon benFlimb baby bodi€s. Some dolls have bodies that resemble compsition but are actually made from crushed oyster shells. For thecollector, it is impoitant to remember that not all of the bolies were made in ,apan. Many times, only the doll heads were imported and then put on bodies that were made el*where. Some firms, .alled iobbers, sp€cialized in putting dolls together, dressing them and then selling them as a comPlete doll. Doll hosPitals advertised that they could supply replacement heads for any size doll body. Given the anti-German sentim€nt during and immediately after the war, it is probable that lome cerman heads were repla.ed with Nippon heads.

y 1920, the Nippon era of dolls was quickly drawing to a clGe. With the war over and European doll makers back in bushess, there was now a glut of dolls on the marlet. As a notice in the November lo20 P/ayrnrtrs\ indi.ates, this over-abundance appears to have made dolls easily expendable: "No shoftase ol goods cal tu obxn'?d anyuherc. to b? a .ase As one goes fron sto/e to storc, it ol'an enbaftassme of nches,' so tatge and L'a ed arc the dif.rcnt displaF- Do s seen to be the ntust the lines.
