Antique cut out dolls

Here are some cut out antique dolls, most from Good Housekeeping magazine.  Sets are not complete, as there are some dolls without clothes and clothes without dolls. 

Mint Mobile Ryan Reynolds

 I got a surprise in my mail. A Ryan Reynolds paper cut out from Mint Mobile, my cellular company  

Sears Catalog Doll

 

I created this doll by modifying outfits from the Sears catalog Spring and Summer 1957.  It's not perfect by any means but was a fun project to try.  I may make more of these catalog dolls in the future.  Not sure how well her hats will stay on.  

McLaughlin's XXXX coffee

 

This is a die cut premium for McLaughlin's XXXX coffee featuring a girl wearing a red cape.  She openes her cape to reveal a cat in a muff.  There were a series of these but I'm not sure how many.  I only have the one.  From the late 1800's early 1900s 

1937

 

Not much information on this sweet little girl except a written date of 1937.  I left her in the packaging I got her in.  She has one dress.  This two tone doll is probably homemade from a magazine or sewing pattern,  

turnabout dolls

This is a set from 1943 called Turnabout Dolls from Samuel Lowe.  I believe they are reprinted from other sets.  The dolls are double sided and can be flipped (hence turnabout)  I only have three dolls (six if you count both sides) and one is very damaged.  these are very fragile.

Kituk the Eskimo Boy

This cutout sheet features Kituk the Eskimo boy along with a folding sled, dog, and fish and furs. This is from Jack and Jill magazine and I believe the date is Feburary 1962.  The artist Katharine Seidle.  I'm back at work now, which has been weird and a bit crazy.  May not be able to post as often til things calm down.

Captain America

I don't know much about this super hero paper dolls. It is from Courier ( or Courier Express?) newspaper. The art is by Owen McCarron and the page is called Marvelous Fun and Games.  I have a few of these pages.  This one is dated 4-22-1979 and is copyright by Marvel.  It features Steve Rogers and his alter ego Captain America.

Nora and Tilly

This paper doll sheet is from Woman and Home magazine, dated August 1956.  It features two girls who are twin sisters. Each girl has a dress.  One is blue with pink trim and the other pink with blue trim.  This one dates September 1956The Text reads:

Have you noticed our twins are growing their hair.  They wear little Alice bands now.  Tilly is the tomboy of the two- but with oh, such a warm heart!

Main:

Such a lovable pair.. A girl will delight in cutting them out and fitting on their dresses.

One day Nora and Tilly were in their playroom with their heads close together in deep conversation.  "They're quiet up there," thought Mummy (me imagines a mummy in wrapping here) "I wonder what mischief they're up to." She went up and put her head round the door.
"We were just wishing Daddy kept a shop" they said. "We could have fun serving behind the counter." "Well, how would you like to run the White Elephant stall at our Church Bazaar?" said Mummy.
"What's a 'White Elephant' stall?" asked Tilly. "It's where people send all the things they don't want, like an old lampshade or a teapot" said Mummy, "and why not make a few things yourselves out of some old bits of material?"  The next day they roped in several of their school-friends and in less then no time they had a splendid collection for their stall"
At last came the day of the bazaar.  A very grand lady was coming to open it and the children drew lots as to who was to present the Duchess with a bouquet.  "I hope Nora wins" said Tilly.  "She can curtsy so gracefully.  I always fall over backwards" Well, Nora won, and after the opening ceremony, she hurried off to their stall to start business.  "Where's Tilly?" She asked, but no one had seen her.
Suddenly, they spotted Tilly threading her way though the crowd.  "I had to run home to fetch a little parcel I had forgotten/" She said.  "What is it?" asked Nora. "Something for the stall?" "Well yes," said Tilly, "But I don't suppose anyone will buy it," and she tore off the paper and string and there was a funny little needle-case mad out of tiny pieces of flannel, all different colors and filled with needles of all sizes.
"Where did you get it?" asked Nora. "I made it myself," said Tilly. "But i'm afraid the stitches aren't very neat." "I think it is beautifully made" said a strange voice behind them. "I would like to buy it for my daughter's work-basket." They all turned to see who the customer was, and believe you me, it was the Duchess herself! After that, there was a rush of people round their stall, everything was sold.

Dolly Dingle, Bobby Blake, and the story of little Mary

This Dolly Dingle paper doll dates from February 1922.  The doll has one outfit and a matching hat.  Her friend, Bobby Blake, is dressed as a mouse.  This is from the Pictorial Review and drawn by Grace G Drayton.

This doll is from Dolly Dingle's Trip Around the World when she was in Holland.  This doll dates from September 1917 from the Pictorial Review magazine and was created by Grace G Drayton.  This is not complete.  she has two dresses and one hat but is missing her friend and and some accessories.

A Dancing Santa

Another paper doll page I don't have much information on.  This is a copy from what I assume is a magazine (Jack and Jill I believe. Dancing Santa is a pantin/jumping jack style paper doll.  This was made by Fred Orfe.  This copy is all red but I do not know for sure if the original was like that.  Text says:

Glue this page on heavy paper and let dry.  Cut out pieces and join loosely at dots with two-pronged metal fasteners.  Tie a loop of thread loosely between the "X's" on arms, and another between those on legs.  Tie a long string between the loops as shown; let the end hang.  pull this string to make Santa dance.

Cut-Outs for Children

 this old newspaper doll is a bit rough around the edges and missing part of the bottom of the page.  I don't know much about her.  Cut-outs for Children is the name of the series.  The girl has 4 outfits and two hats, printed in blue and red ink.  No date on these, perhaps late 1910's early 1920's.

A Colored Cut-Out Toy

This newspaper paper doll is quite large. This is Olga.  She has 3 dresses, four hats, and three pairs of shoes. The square base for the shoes are quite unusual. The artist is Dan Rudolph.  This is from the Dramatic Section of the Cleveland News and Sunday News Leader. The papers has aged, but the colors are still vibrant, showing a red and blue dual color. No exact date on this one, just 1924.

April Fool

Above is a very quick pantin jointed paper doll inspired by old French clowns.  This April Fool comes with joined arms and legs as well as head.  Please use small brads to assemble, 9 are needed in total.  Best if printed on heavy cardstock.  I chose primary bright colors. 

Little Owl and His Friends

This is a copy from Jack and Jill magazine featuring 2 pages stitched together. I'm not sure of the issue or year.  The pages have a native american named Little Owl along with a canoe, teepee, and little animal friends.  This is not quite a paper doll, more of a cut out assembly toy.  The artist is Peggie Geiszel.

Joan Walsh Anglund Christmas Pages

1986

1989

1990

Can you believe it's almost the end of November?  Forgive me if you feel it's too early to post Christmas themed things.  Above are 3 Joan Walsh Anglund Children's Pages. Two have cut outs, one has an illustration of a tree. These are from Good Housekeeping magazine (is that still around?  Perhaps we should send them paper dolls)

Also, notice to the left of the blog on the upper corner is something new.... Apparently I'm a Top 100 Doll Blog *number 47 I believe* So thanks everyone!  I don't know much about Feedspot, the website that gave me the award.  Also, if I started a Facebook page, would you guys follow?  Lots of other blogs have a Facebook.  I just don't know what I would post that isn't different from the blog.  Maybe a Facebook group?  Idk.  Twitter is another option but I've never done Twitter and don't really see the appeal of it.
