Tillie Cutouts

I'm going to try and 'schedule' a blog post, I've never done it before, so we'll see how it goes.  If it works, I may put some newspaper sheets on the schedule for Sundays, since they came out on Sundays. This one is Tillie Cutouts with a doll and a floral print dress. The date is written on as 10-20-1946.

Leading Ladies

This set is from the Saalfield publishing company and is called Leading Ladies.  These four ladies don't have names but the clothing is marked with either an L or a D.  so I named them, Lana and Laura and Diana and Deborah.  this is a cut set and is not complete.  a few outfits are damaged.  the brown coat and green pencil skirt should be one piece but have been cut in half. 

Little Brother Little Sister

This set is by Queen Holden and features 6 dolls, three boys and three girls.  It is called Little Brother, Little Sister, so it's easy to confuse with other sets of similar names.  The girls are named Jean, Joan, and Patsy (names she uses in other sets as well) and the boys are named David, Tommy and Bobby.  I'm not sure who is supposed to be related to who, maybe they are all siblings?  The blonde looks like Shirley Temple a bit. This one is from Whitman 1938 and the number is #966.  I believe these dolls were redrawn for other sets.  The paper is fragile from age and a bit musty, some clothing is a bit damaged and the dolls have issues as well. The set was a bit too large for 8.5x11 paper size, so I scanned it at legal size. Not sure if set is complete.

Cinderella and the Prince

This a box set of the Disney character Cinderella and the Prince. I love box sets but I don't have too many because they take up a lot of room.  This is dated 1984 and is from Whitman.  Interesting, her blue gown from the movie is pink in this paper doll version.  The dolls have an almost anime feel to their faces and have slight bends from age (they don't lay flat anymore).  There is an accordion book that has five pages of outfits for the two dolls, it was a challenge to scan. The wedding dress is very similar to one I remember having as a kid.
