Dolls have been a universal toy for girls from before recorded history.
In the beginning, dolls were incredibly crude by today's standards of
manufactured dolls made by large toy companies. However, the
important element was that the dolls
were loved by the girls who played with them.
The dolls offered here are either styled after dolls available
during the period of the civil war or, in some cases, are exact
replicas of the dolls of the time period. What you will not find are
bisque dolls (bisque dolls existed but had really not become widespread by
the 1860's), Jumeau dolls, or any modern dolls
attired in period
clothing. All of those dolls would have been found after the civil war
period.
Information for Resale
Some of the dolls we purchase from other suppliers and cannot offer
wholesale at reasonable prices. However, we do make a fabric doll kit, the paper dolls, and the paper doll book ourselves and these are available wholesale to
established vendors. Contact us for details on wholesale purchase.
