Dolls from Storyland

 

This set is Dolls from Storyland Merrill #1554 from 1948.  Some of the Dolls are damaged.  The outfits are from various fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Cut set and incomplete. 

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.

The Little Fairy Paper Dolls

This book has absolutely gorgeous art and may be one of my favorite uncut sets of children that I own.  It is 6 pages with 4 dolls, 2 on the front and 2 on the back.  This book is from Merrill and is dated 1951.  the set is called The Little Fairy Paper Dolls and features Pink Fairy, Green Fairy and Little Girl and Little Boy.  Each page features about 2 costumes with hats and lovely accessories.

Bradley's Straight Line Picutre Cut-Out Dolls Fairy Tales

Prince, Snow White (as labeled on back)

Cinderella

This jointed paper doll set features fairy tale characters such as Snow White, the Seven Dwarfs, the Prince and Cinderella.  This is not a complete set and is missing some figures, like Red Ridding Hood and the wolf.  Also note the Prince little short arts, he's missing a upper sleeve!  These were designed by Clara G. Dennis for the Milton Bradley company. no date on this but I found another Mother Goose set dated 1915 so around that time. In the set I have, only Cinderella has an extra outfit.  I've been feeling a bit burned out lately, so I may take a break from the blog soon.
