Some items in this category are available because they are things I make. The rolled fabric doll kits will be available after I get a chance to update the pricing.

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.

Paper Dolls and How to Make Them (No Author Stated but written by C. B. Allair) - This book was originally published in 1856. It has been carefully reproduced so that the reproduction bears a striking resemblance to what an original would have looked like when it was new. The ISBN label can be peeled off (or omitted completely if you desire) so that it can be taken to the field by reenactors and used in period scenarios.
