First Date

Here is a partial set of First Date from 1944 by the Merrill Publishing Company.  This was part of a larger lot purchased from Goodwill online stores. The clothes are by Clara Ernst Barnes.  There are four dolls, two girls and two boys.  This is not a complete set and some of the outfits have rips and tears.  The dolls are also used, with some missing limbs and repairs.  

Around the Clock with Peg and Dot

I only have Peg with her wardrobe and one outfit for Dot.  This set was published by Whitman 1943.  The doll is very tall.  I've been working on some of my paper doll artwork and may not post as consistently.  I am also scanning in bigger paper doll items and reading through my doll magazines for paper doll articles.

Jean Jeans

I feel as this set is a bit of a tongue twister.  Trying saying Jean Jeans a couple times in a row!  Very groovy clothing with vibrant colors.  Some of this set is cut off slightly on a foot or two.

College Style 1941

Here's a very cute set called College Style from 1941.  I don't have Peter, but I only have one outfit for him.  Also John has some tape on the back of his neck and arm, really old bad tape that I still have to remove.  Lots of little accessories with this cut set.  Also a few outfits mislabeled Jane when the only fit Patsy.  The girls are very lovely.
