Jesmar. Co. specialises in the manufacture of dolls for children and is based in Biar (Alicante, Valencia, Spain). The company, founded in 1946, announced its closure after registering financial problems since January 2001.

Jesmar created the Muñeca lamparita Doll which means ‘Little Lamp Doll’ in the 1970’s. A boy and a girl doll was made and they carry a little lamp in their right hand, hence their name. They are all rubber, except plastic body and have painted shoes and face. Their hair is rooted and comes in a orange, brown and blonde.

The difference with this doll from the Migliorati and the Horsman dolls is that it has a battery-powered mechanism in the back that powers the little lamp they carry and plays music.

“When you lift my arm, the light turns on and I sing a lullaby to go to sleep.”
