1941-1950


Dream World Dolls

Another hand-painted composition doll, this WWII creation was aimed at the largest possible market; they were reasonably priced, came in great variety, and were of a good size to be toted about by their owners (approximately 12").

They came in many forms: Characters, portraits, ethnic, professional and bride dolls are among the many specimens to be found.

They were an early mass-produced doll. They are most often unmarked, however the style of the head and face may be the best clues for determining a doll to be a Dream World.

These are highly collectible, and as ever, also highly affordable!
