A once in a lifetime opportunity for the collector of early dolls is exemplified by this sublime, twenty-seven-inch, German Tuck Comb Wooden from the Grodner Tal. Details include noble features that retain entirely original paint. Of special note are the golden eyes with painted striations, all highlighted by original delicate lashes and brows, fanciful curls that brush her cheeks and pierced ears with gilded, wooden, drop earrings. The incredible carved wood hairstyle includes a spectacular gilded hair comb. On a marvel of a jointed wood body that is fitted with red painted slippers, she owns an assortment of fabulous hand stitched gowns in a variety of materials, and all fashioned in the empire taste. Plus, there are bonnets that flatter the fashions. Please do not hesitate, we believe this choice doll is worthy of display within the finest doll museums or private collections. $28,000.

CHIFFONNETTE’S SEASIDE COSTUME by Sylvia Mac Neil A popular ensemble fashionable at the seaside in the early 1860’s was one executed in the manner of Garibaldi, named after the Italian patriot and his “Redshirts.”

About The Cover

In the early 1860’s the belles of society adopted costumes in a masculine style, one of the styles inﬂuenced by the famed Garibaldi Redshirts. Sylvia Mac Neil did extensive research for this article, studying antique clothing, auction catalogues, ladies’ books of the mid-nineteenth century and the little known “Cendrillon” magazine, ﬁrst published in 1850. She shares source material, antique doll costumes in the Garibaldi fashion and Chiffonnette at the seaside, modeling an ensemble inspired by an original doll dress.

ou would expect a doll price guide to be informative, but beautiful? That’s hardly a word used to describe a compilation of data on antique and modern dolls. Yet Jan Foulke’s newly published Guide to Dolls is a joy to look at, with outstanding design, photography and gorgeous examples of dolls from important collections. Jan Foulke has authored 16 editions of the Blue Book of Dolls & Values, commonly referred to by collectors as the “bible.” This new illustrated reference is the easiest to follow and the most informative for new as well as advanced collectors and dealers. In the forward sections, the author provides valuable information on condition, bodies, clothing and originality, reproductions, visual appeal, selling and buying at auction. Also of note at the beginning of the antique and vintage section, she provides a valuable listing of how much a speciﬁc ﬂaw or damage should affect the value of the doll. After all, these are antiques and dolls were generally played with so it is normal to expect some wear and aging. A user-friendly index to dolls and mold numbers is also provided. Nearly one-third larger than the last edition printed in 2006 and including some 500 top quality photographs in beautifully designed layouts, this new volume was well worth the wait. Soft cover, 288 pages. $26.95 Order from www.jansdollbook.com

Highlights from Theriault’s Summer Auction

heriault’s annual summer auction, held in Anaheim, CA, offered a wide variety of dolls and toys from ranging from an important collection of French dolls and German characters to affordable soft toys and a one person collection of early Raggedy Ann’s. It was standing room only for this one day sale (although seating opened up when the hot fudge sundaes were delivered). We have always marveled at the beautiful displays of dolls and learned from Florence Theriault that dolls are staged back in Annapolis and photographed in position which facilitates setting up for the auction. Prices shown below do not include the buyer’s premium.

Suzanne Amaryllis, a 14” Rohmer with a signed trunk and trousseau, brought $19,000.The doll came from its original estate in Rouen, France where it resided for 150 years. 14

Chiffonnette’s Seaside Costume by Sylvia Mac Neil

ANTIQUE DOLL COLLECTOR

SEPTEMBER 2011

Chiffonnette’s distingué seaside costume is made in the Garibaldi style using 19th century materials. The blouse and sash, as well as the band on the skirt, are of red cotton, while the skirt and cape are in black and white striped cotton. All is garnished with bands of hand-embroidered briar stitch of cream-colored silk.

The Garibaldi blouse features a round collar and a placket at the front. It closes with a small, three-holed black button at the neck, and black hooks with thread loops continuing to the waist; the fullness is pleated onto a waistband. Long, ample sleeves are pleated at the shoulders and gathered onto a narrow, folded-back cuff at the wrist, closing with the same style button. The rich trimming of cream embroidery garnishes the blouse at the collar, front placket, and the cuffs.

The voluminous skirt has four double box-pleats at the front, with the remainder gathered, then whipped onto a cotton tape waistband; it closes with a hook and thread loop. A bordering of red is set near the hem, the edges trimmed in briar stitch embroidery. A long sash accompanies the outfit. It is hemmed narrowly along the edges; the short, straight ends are accented with embroidery and raveled into a narrow fringe. A circular cape of black and white stripes set diagonally is edged with bands of red, embroidered to correspond. The jaunty hood terminates in three points which are finished with fanciful, red silk pompon tassels.

A coquetish hat of black straw is trimmed with red ribbons round the crown, accented with a chou of ribbon and a plume of black ostrich feathers. Other choux are tucked under the brim at the sides, with long streamers fluttering behind.

This outfit is made up in woolen fabric of deep, coffee color and cream stripes and a soft, aqua tone. A long cape in stripes with a pointed hood is a novel addition. The details are somewhat different in this ensemble, but the Garibaldi style is clearly evident. Photos courtesy of Carmel Doll Shop

Another distinctive example…. again, made in the charming combination of aqua and cream woolen fabric. Embroidery is seen on the blouse, but none is evident on the band on the skirt. Photo courtesy of Theriault’s

“Journal des Demoiselles,” January, 1861. “Child’s sailor-suit. ---Little boy. Chemisette of flannel with matching belt, skirt of poplin garnished with a wide bias of taffeta. Gaiters of kid. Russian hat with red pompon.” This Garibaldi style costume is made up in the classic combination of red and white, though some details are a bit different. The blouse features bands on the shoulders and it closes with buttons on the placket. This fringed sash is tied at the right side of the wearer, and there are no evident bands of trim or embroidery. 20

This drawing, made by the author, is from her extensive research material. It was made while examining the original doll dress, and was the inspiration for Chiffonnetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costume. Documented artwork such as this, with every detail of design and construction noted, is the ideal for reference.

Here is the original ensemble. Destined to be worn by a Huret or Rohmer, this costume is fashioned of lightweight cream and aquamarine wool. The Garibaldi shirt is decorated in an embroidered briar stitch; the full skirt has a matching band near the hem. A sash is worn across the shoulder for a novel touch. Photo courtesy of Carmel Doll Shop

Clothing for paper dolls also followed the current fashion trends, as seen in this circa 1860s child paper doll from the French magazine, Psyche. The first dress on the left is in the Garibaldi style, featuring the classic red blouse and full skirt of narrow black and white horizontal stripes. A sash is tied in a bow with ends falling just over the band of red set at the bottom of the skirt. Photo courtesy of Sylvia Kleindinst. ANTIQUE DOLL COLLECTOR

Peterson’s Magazine, October, 1861. “DRESS FOR A LITTLE BOY. --- The skirt is of gray cashmere, trimmed with two bands of Solferino colored cashmere, set on with rows of black velvet. The jacket and sash are of Solferino colored cashmere. Gray hat with Solferino colored velvet band and plumes.” Here is another striking color combination, with the vibrant fuchsia color set off by the subtleness of gray. The blouse and sash are trimmed with braid or embroidery. The lad’s wide breeches are visible under his skirt.

Cendrillon, November, 1862. “CHILDREN’S COSTUMES. No 5. Little boy. --Blouse of cashmere or fine flannel. Pantaloons of fancy cloth.” What a jaunty outfit for a young boy. The classic, red Garibaldi blouse is garnished with black braid on the round collar and front placket. The untrimmed sash is tied in a bow at the side, rather than the usual knot. The fabric of the pantaloons is a narrow black and white stripe, set horizontally. The simple straw mariner’s hat is the perfect finishing touch. Worthy of note is the hat worn by the third figure. It is described as a “Chapeau Garibaldi, garnished with velvet and plumes.” It appears to be a simple toque with a large plume curling coquettishly over the back of her head. Also of interest is the fact that she is wearing a snood under her hat.

Journal des Demoiselles, 1862. “Toilette for a little boy. --- Skirt and blouse in wool muslin or cashmere, the skirt ornamented with a large bias of taffeta or cashmere of another color. Russian hat of Italian straw with a long plume.” Here is a charming variation, this one completely blue, with a red sash and band on the skirt. The blouse is full with a yoke at the back.

Cendrillon, August, 1862. “FASHION PLATE. COSTUME FOR A LITTLE GIRL. --- Hat of straw, garnished with black velvet ribbon and a plume of rose-fuchsine. Mariner blouse in rose-fuchsine woolen fabric, skirt striped white and black. Belt tied behind, garnished with narrow black braid.” This version is quite unusual. Rather than the classic red, a fuchsia color is used. The stripes on the skirt run vertically rather than horizontally, and the sash is tied in a bow at the back. Black braid adds another stylish detail. The costume is quite coquettish in this bright color.

Cendrillon, May, 1862. “CHILDREN’S COSTUMES. Fourth figure. --- Little girl of four years. Net of silk with pearl beads. Chemisette of very lightweight red wool, with black velvet ribbon. White skirt with bands and black velvet ribbon the same as the chemisette.” This stylish Garibaldi costume features two bands of red on the skirt, and is accented with ribbon rather than embroidery.

Godey’s Lady’s Book, September, 1863. “Garibaldi suit, made of magenta merino, trimmed with black velvet.” It is unique and distinctive in a color as bright as magenta. The trim is narrow, black velvet ribbon, and it is used on the unusual, pointed collar and sash with wide, pointed ends. ANTIQUE DOLL COLLECTOR

Godey’s Lady’s Book, February, 1863. “Garibaldi costume for a little boy. A pretty style.” Although there are no details accompanying this illustration, the classic Garibaldi details can be seen in the full blouse, narrow collar and folded-back cuffs, as well as the skirt with a band of coordinating fabric near the hem and the knotted and fringed sash. The short placket, buttoning on the side, is a decided novelty.

Godey’s Lady’s Book, August, 1865. “GARIBALDI SUIT FOR A LITTLE GIRL. The material is oakcolored merino, trimmed with bands of black leather studded with large steel buttons.” The popularity continued, and two years later, Godey’s featured yet another Garibaldi suit. This one is unique with its bands of leather studded with buttons at the neckline and sleeves rather than a rounded collar and cuffs. Leather also trims the shoulders, front yoke and the bottom of the full, box-pleated skirt. A band of leather is set at the waist rather than a sash. 24

Schlaggenwald Chinas Part I

or many years, some antique doll collectors have credited a group of glazed-porcelain shoulder heads to an unnamed English porcelain factory. The shoulder heads and original bodies are unique, and very little information has surfaced to identify positively these beautiful chinas. Many clues were uncovered by longtime china collector, Margaret Hartshorn, following her trip to Bohemia, which help todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collectors identify the chinas formerly attributed to an unknown English porcelain factory. Margaret wrote two articles describing the dolls made in Schlaggenwald, a town in the Czech Republic. Schlaggenwald has been renamed Horni Slavkov.

(aka Schlaggenwald). In fact, Slavkovsky is the Bohemian name of the forest and mountains surrounding the Haas and Czjzek factory. Margaret’s two articles in Antique Doll Collector are titled “The Museum Hracek, A Far-Away Castle in Czech Republic,” and “What and Where is Schlaggenwald,” Antique Doll Collector. Both articles are full of information relating to the Schlaggenwald porcelain factory, now known as Haas & Czjzak. In “What and Where is Schlaggenwald,” Margaret explains the reason for her trip with the following words: “What is the importance of knowing where this place is? Because many years ago this significant porcelain manufacturing industry in southern Bohemia produced, among other fine porcelain items, some of the finest china shoulder heads sought by collectors today.” I followed in Margaret’s footsteps in 2007 and visited Haas and Czjzak (Photo 2) and finding no information about dolls, continued onto Loket for the night. As any tourist would do, we went to the local Castle Museum in Loket and there found the dolls we sought.

Haas & Czjzak porcelain factory sample sheet which pictured two shoulder heads, numbered 1273 and 1274. (Photo 6) The Haas & Czjzak porcelain factory, founded in 1792 made the Schlaggenwald shoulder heads quite early and are known to have exhibited dolls’ heads in Vienna in 1845. A group of chinas, identiﬁed as Morning Glories, are well-known products of the Schlaggenwald production. Compare the Morning Glories in picture Photo 7 with the sample sheet noting particularly that the head is pitched down just like #1274 of the sample sheet and Photo 8 is just like #1273 of the sample sheet. Both heads are marked with an incised S. All marked Schlaggenwald dolls have an impressed “S,” often with impressed numbers.

(Photos 11, 12, 13, 14) The Coleman’s The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Dolls, Volume Two, contains important information on Schlaggenwald, and the doll-related porcelain products made there. Under the heading Schlaggenwald, the Colemans state: “1793-1939 and later, Schlaggenwald, Bohemia, Lipfert & Haas were owners until 1876 when it became Haas and Czijzek. Various styles of china dolls’ heads of the 1840s-70s have been found with the S mark for Schlaggenwald impressed on the inside of the shoulder. Often the S was made horizontally and near it was a number.”

The Colemans’ further explain, “Some of the wigged china heads had a black spot for a pate. The shoulders generally had three sew holes in both front and back and the sides were narrow compared with the long front and back. The faces usually had a long patrician look. Some of the heads had morning glory decorations. The decorations were not always painted in multicolors but sometimes the entire hair and decorations were painted black. A few of the heads had molded blond hair.” Photo 15 shows the unpainted head found in the museum. Coleman’s Encyclopedia, Volume 2, shows this same head with notation “China shoulder head made by Schlaggenwald has molded blond hair with bun in back and painted blue eyes and a closed mouth.” The Colemans picture eight examples in Volume 2 including ﬁve bald china shoulder heads and three chinas with molded hair. Compare the doll in photograph Photo 17 with Photo 16, the head found in the museum and also shown in Vol. 2 of the Collector’s Encyclopedia. Picture Photo 19 shows the long thin neck, also seen in the sample sheet. Picture Photo 21 is a close up which shows how the outline above the eye angles up on the outer edge and the two stroke eyebrows. A second example of the dolls shown in Photo 16 from the museum is this lovely lady seen in Photo 22. The head is painted like the boy from Schlaggenwald. The shoulder plate modeling is like the sample sheet and the right eyelid angles up like the one in photograph Photo 21. All of these dolls have wonderful rosy cheeks. It appears, from examples studied, that Schlaggenwald produced glazed porcelain shoulder heads as early as the 1840’s and ceased in the late 1860’s or early 1870’s. BIBLIOGRAPHY:

Jean Ray’s Artist Dolls by Dominique Pennegues

rtist dolls designed by the French artist Jean Ray have been an enigma in the French doll collecting world until a short time ago. Collectors recognized the elegant look of those expensive dolls shown in Parisian major store catalogues from 1917 up to the early 20’s, but nothing was known about Jean Ray himself, and only very little about his dolls. All we knew was that Jean Ray dolls were ﬁrst produced by M.F.J.T. (Manufacture Française de Jouets en Tissu), a French company run by Emile Lang, a milliner who turned to cloth doll making at the beginning of WWI (See See the January 2008 issue of Antique Doll Collector). Collector Emile and René Lang patented cloth dolls as early as 1915 and are mainly known by collectors for their interesting male cloth dolls dressed as soldiers. However, Emile Lang later on also

worked as S.F.B.J.’s partner for their cloth doll line, and this allowed S.F.B.J. to claim in their ads from the early 20’s that they owned the exclusivity of Jean Ray artist dolls, as they already did for Francisque Poulbot’s dolls since 1913, both artists being known at the time for their attractive illustrations of children from Paris. About a year ago, a Jean Ray doll was bought and shown at the Musée de la Poupée Paris and this unexpected ﬁnd gave me the opportunity to do more research on Jean Ray himself. Happily, some of the mystery was revealed with the discovery of a 1908 illustration made by the artist for the well known French satirical journal Le Rire. Then, more illustrations signed by Jean Ray were found in Fantasio, both publications being mainly concerned with arts, culture and politics. His work for those magazines appeared together with that of Adolphe Willette and Francisque Poulbot who both had dolls made in the likeness of their drawings.

However, by 1919, Jean Ray distinguished himself from Willette and Poulbot by publishing in the luxurious Art Deco fashion periodical, La Guirlande de l’Art et de la Littérature directed by Umberto Brunelleschi. Coming back to Jean Ray’s illustrations for Le Rire and Fantasio, it’s interesting to see how he and Francisque Poulbot, both involved in representing Parisian children in their day-to-day life, before, during, and after the war, had such a different way of showing their own understanding of childhood, both with humour and tenderness, but one with elegance and delicacy, suggesting the innocence of that age, while the other enjoyed provoking, giving to his children of Montmartre knowledge they should not have at their age, including politics and sex, and which on occasion goes a little too far for his work to be shown here. While Jean Ray is charming us by the innocence of his gentle and well educated children, Francisque Poulbot does not hesitate to caricature German children as being despicable, vile and violent so to please his patriotic feelings. His drawings of the “children of the

Jean Ray’s 1922 satirical illustration for “Fantasio” entitled “ La campagne contre le retour du corset” (campaign against the coming back of corset). This was the time when French women were loosing most of the freedom they had won during WWI, and this illustration tell us once more of Jean Ray’s support, encouraging them to not conform to the traditional role model they had been given, to stay emancipated and fight for the same freedoms as men. In 1922, the French Senate denied women the right to vote and French novelist Victor Margueritte was de-knighted (cast out) by La Legion d’Honneur because of his avant- garde novel “La Garçonne” (the Bachelor Girl), describing the story of a young innocent girl, who, after finding out that her fiancé was having love affairs with other women, decided to live her own life freely, dressed like a boy, with a bobbed haircut and having the same freedom, including in the bedroom. In his illustration, Jean Ray is only showing the nude breast of his elegant young beauty, while the working title of feminist Victor Margueritte’s novel was ‘Toute nue” (all nude).

Paris streets” gives the sad and unjust message that beauty and poverty does not suit, and that children from the working class are somehow ugly, dirty and sexually aware, with no guidance from parents who prefer to drink rather than to work. Francisque Poulbot’s bisque dolls made by S.F.B.J. (mold 239 signed by Poulbot) and Poulbot’s cloth dolls made by Doumka, are both very hard to ﬁnd today. Being such a departure from typical French dolls, parents no doubt hesitated to give such a doll to their young children. No wonder why these dolls are so rare on the doll

La Petite Marraine (Little Godmother). Illustration by Jean Ray for Fantasio, 1916. In 1915, Marguerite de Lens, aware of the suffering of soldiers with no family, founded “La Famille du Soldat (The Soldier’s Family), the first organization for War Godmothers and Godfathers, who volunteered to become pen pals and send food and clothing to thousand of soldiers without any contact with loved ones. Soon many more organizations participated. This Jean Ray illustration shows a young girl named Lily, and her little brother Bob, sending a gift to their War Godson. The parcel reads: “Monsieur mon filleul (Mr my Godson), expedit. Lily and Bob. Address : “Au Front” (battle field). Note the doll sitting on the floor, dressed in Alsacian costume. Private collection. France.

Pour Papa (For Daddy). Illustration by Francisque Poulbot for Fantasio, 1916. Note the difference of style between Poulbot and Ray, both drawings show children at the post office: Poulbot’s children are supposed to be from working class families, poorly dressed and sending parcels for their fathers on the battle field. Ray’s children are supposed to be from so-called fortunate families, are elegantly dressed, and send their parcel to an unknown soldier they have adopted as Godson.

market, even though, as adults, their little faces may touch our hearts and bring us to love them. On the other side, Jean Ray dolls are even more elusive to ﬁnd today, but the reason is very different. The quality of the whole doll – the beauty and luxury of the clothing, its elegance – would have pleased every mother and child, but the price they were sold at was totally dissuasive. Also, when studying Lily from Musée de la Poupée Paris, one may see that those dolls were not made to be undressed and were obviously made for ornament only. It would have been very difﬁcult for a child to resist playing with such appealing doll. ANTIQUE DOLL COLLECTOR

& Friends by Don Jensen

omic character dolls have been around almost as long as comic strips themselves. Only three years after cartoonist Richard F. Outcault first drew his Yellow Kid in 1894, a Chicago distributor brought out a big-eared doll version of the popular character. After that, dolls modeled on comic strip characters became common. But not for Effanbee, which waited until the late 1920s to bring out its first popular cartoon character doll, Percy Crosby’s Skippy. Skippy’s huge success prompted Hugo Baum, Fleischaker and Baum’s “idea man,” to look for a follow-up comic doll. In 1935, his focus fixed on Popeye, the famous character from Elzie C. Segar’s Thimble Theater Sunday “Funny Papers.” Soon Baum had acquired a license and copyright design to make such a doll. Today, most are familiar with Popeye the Sailor Man, with his squinty look and his dependency upon spinach to keep him “strong at da finich.” And surely, back in 1935, comic strip Popeye was even more famous! Cartoonist Segar had launched the Thimble Theater cartoon strip in 1919, populating it with skinny Olive Oyl and her now long-forgotten family members: brother, Castor, father, Cole and uncle, Lubry Kent Oyl. Popeye, himself, didn’t join the Thimble’s troupe until a decade later – 1929 – but he soon took on the starring role. By the time Hugo Baum took notice six years later, Popeye was a genuine comic leading man. Interestingly, though Fleischaker and Baum primarily was a composition doll company, it did have some experience with cloth dolls such as its Kali-Ko Kate. And cloth was the medium Baum chose for Effanbee’s Popeye. In its promotional Patsytown News, a free publication sent to the many thousands of little girls who had become members of the Patsy Doll Club, Effanbee introduced Popeye as “a big doll, 16 inches tall.” The strikingly realistic doll has the cartoon sailor’s familiar jut-jawed face, with baggy nose and applied ears. He has one painted eye, the other seemingly shut in a squint. His head is topped with a blue-billed white sailor’s cap. 50

Tagged Olive and Popeye. Fifteen-and-a-half-inch Olive. Popeye is all cloth, except for his attached compo shoes. Swee’pea no longer has a tag, but clearly was part of the Effanbee series.

Comic drawing of Eugene the Jeep

His prominent biceps, “tattooed” with a pair of anchors, are well displayed by his short-sleeved navy middy with blue-piped red collar and cuffs and three white buttons. Sometime before production began, Effanbee apparently changed its mind about Popeye’s trousers. Early advertising describes them as black with red trimmings. But every doll the author has seen wears white dungarees. Popeye’s black shoes are his only composition parts. Effanbee’s doll is marked only with an unusual cardboard hangtag shaped like a crate of spinach. In one 1935 issue of Patsytown News, Popeye is portrayed as a hero, saving another Effanbee doll, Ann Shirley, from a big, bad teddy bear. Another issue shows him watching hundreds of spitting images come off Effanbee’s production line. In that mini strip, clearly not actually drawn by cartoonist Segar, an amazed Popeye utters his famous exclamation, “Blow Me Down!” Though his comic strip predecessor, Skippy had been much more popular with children, seemingly Popeye did well enough in toy and department stores to warrant Hugo Baum’s faith in him. Because of his cloth construction, though, relatively few have survived the more than seven decades since. Effanbee’s Popeye is a rare doll today. The same can be said -- in spades -- about three of Popeye’s Thimble Theater comic strip companions -- Olive Oyl, Swee’pea and Jeep – that Effanbee introduced next. By far, the rarest of the trio Is Popeye’s friend, Jeep, a strange cartoon creature from the “Fourth Dimension.” Jeep – his not widely remembered real name was Eugene -looked vaguely like a spotted yellow dog, friendly and with the inability to tell a lie. During WWII, GIs named their rugged Army vehicles after Jeep. Collectors today are familiar with the Joseph Kallus-designed composition and wood Jeep, made in several sizes by Cameo, but Effanbee’s cloth version is almost totally unknown. To the author’s knowledge, no surviving examples have been found. The doll is known only from a single 1935 advertising photo and brief description. From that description, we know that Effanbee’s version was 14 inches tall and was made of a “soft, long-wearing material. . . yellow with red spots and nose.” He had a heart-shaped cardboard hangtag identifying him as Jeep, an Effanbee product. “He’s everybody’s lucky charm!” the company’s promotion caption asserted. Almost as rare today is Effanbee’s Olive Oyl. Only a few are known to exist. As a comic character, Olive dates back to the beginning of the Thimble Theater – much later renamed, simply, Popeye -- newspaper strip. By the early 1920s, she had evolved into a homely, skinny “ﬂapper.” With Popeye’s appearance in 1929, she threw over her “lounge lizard” boyfriend, Harold Hamgravy, setting her sights instead on the rough-and-tumble Sailor Man. Contrary to popular assumption, in Segar’s comic strip, Olive never became Mrs. Popeye, and, in fact their relationship was very much off and on. It seems Olive, particularly in the ‘30s animated versions, had a ﬁckle streak, often attracted to the brutish Bluto, Popeye’s arch rival. While it can be assumed that Effanbee’s Olive Oyl also dates to about 1935 or 1936, she seems to have never appeared in the company’s advertising. Unlike Popeye, Olive has a rubber head and neck on a cloth body. She has a prominent molded nose and a corresponding horn-like bun on the back of her black molded hair. At 15.5 inches, she is just a bit shorter than Popeye. She wears a frumpy red and white polka dress with a large Peter Pan type collar. And like Popeye, she is marked only with a cardboard

Rare photo from 1935 “Patsytown News” is the only known image of Effanbee’s cloth Jeep, a dog-like comic creature from the “Fourth Dimension.”

tag, though hers is a traditional Effanbee gold heart with her name and maker. Perhaps the most mysterious of Effanbee Thimble Theater quartet is Swee’pea. He, too, was never advertised by Fleischaker and Baum. In Segar’s strip, the orphaned infant is abandoned at Popeye’s door in 1933, and he adopts the child as his “boykid.” The baby is officially christened Scooner Seawell Georgia Washenting Christiffer Columbia Daniel Boom, but mercifully is shortened to Sweet Pea, which Popeye contracts as Swee’pea. In the 1980 live-action film adaptation of Popeye, starring Robin Williams, Olive scoffs at the name, saying it “sounds ridiculous.” Popeye retorts, “Well, what were YOU going to call him? Baby Oyl?” The only known existing Swee’pea doll is completely unmarked. Presumably its original hangtag was lost long ago. The doll is identifiable only by his construction similarities to Effanbee’s tagged Olive. Swee’pea is all cloth, except for his rubber mask face. He is about 9 inches tall in his permanent sitting position. He wears a long-sleeved red sateen sacque with white lace collar and cuffs, from which his cloth mitten hands protrude. He also has a ruffled white organdy baby bonnet. Fleischaker and Baum’s brief mid-1930s excursion into the mostly cloth comic character dolls seemingly ended after Popeye and his three companions. They all were gone from the line before 1938. Comic drawing of Swee’pea

PHILADELPHIA DOLL MUSEUM By Jennylou Hamilton Schoelwer

The origin of this group is not known, but could it be a choir? The dolls have no lower bodies.

International dolls representing a variety of countries and ages.

f one visits Philadelphia, one is bound to see the City Hall with the statue of William Penn, the founder, perched on the dome, as he surveys his domain. The City Hall is literally in the middle of Broad Street. It creates a block in which a large part of the heavy traffic of center city is required to go around. Going around this block and heading north on Broad Street, one goes by the many buildings of Temple University, one of the larger universities in the area. Just beyond is the Philadelphia Doll Museum, dedicated to the preservation and teaching of Black History through dolls. It is a small museum with a very large project. The museum was opened in 1988 by Barbara Whiteman, the current owner and director. Her degree is a Bachelor of Science from Temple University. Her interest is in biology, and medical techniques evolved into education. Teaching Vacation Bible school for fifteen years led to giving programs to schools, churches and libraries. She realized the importance of using dolls to teach Black history. Especially meaningful is her work with the grade school teachers in the Philadelphia area. If the teachers wish, meetings can be arranged with the museum and teaching kits are provided concerning the specific history of the country that they are teaching. The doll collection represents countries from all over the world and covers many years of history. The dolls tell the history of countries of Africa, Europe, and the United States, including American Folk Art dolls as well as doll representing notable Black historical figures. Doll artists dolls are on display, including a large collection by the noted doll artist, Roberta Bell, the first Black American to become a member of the National Institute of American Doll Artists. Of particular interest on display are the dolls from Brazil that represent spiritual beings. Orisha Yehonja or Yemanya, dressed in blue represents the ultimate symbol and personification of motherhood. The most common symbol is the ocean. She represents the birthplace of life on earth. Orisha Nana Buruku, dressed in green, is considered one the oldest of them and the most cantankerous. As divinity of the waters, she is the mistress of still waters, lagoons, and marshes. She is the mother of Omulo, the divinity of the Earth. He is dressed completely in palm straw that covers his entire body, including his face. With his broom or ahashara which he always carries, he sweeps away sores and disease from the bodies of his people. Those who offend him or the earth, he punishes with smallpox. Oxala Oxalufon, also known as Obatala, dressed in white, is the divinity of creation and the father of all Orishas. He is considered the highest of all the divinities. He symbolizes tranquility, purity, clear thinking, respectability, and calmness.

In the back row, left to right, two Terry Lees, Sara Lee by Ideal, Baby Grumps. In the front row, left to right, Topsy made by Nancy Ann, Baby Grumps girl, and two Japanese all-bisque. A Sonnenberg-type twofaced doll. The second face is shown in the mirror.

A sample of things to buy in the gift shop as a reminder of an educational and fun day at the museum.

Grade schools teachers are encouraged to bring groups of children to the museum. A trip to the museum is a wonderful learning experience for everyone. The Education Department continues to work with teachers in developing curriculum even after the visit to the museum. The museum takes educational programs to schools, churches, and cultural organizations. The subjects include, “The History of Black Dolls”, “The Black Doll As A Teaching Tool”, and “Doll-Making Workshops”. The Research Library contains a collection of books on doll history that are offered to those who make advance reservations. Books on doll making and doll artists are available, as well as a doll encyclopedia. Videos and back issues of doll magazines are included in their offering to the serious reader. Special events held at the museum feature doll artist’s receptions, poetry readings, book signings, holiday celebrations, and live performances. Popular annual events are the Doll and Teddy Bear Luncheon, the International Black Doll Luncheon, the International Black Doll Convention, and the Annual Children Jammin’ Festival. The dolls displayed are grouped according to their age and origin. They begin with those representing early Egyptian ﬁgures and continue with European dolls of the 19th and 20th centuries. Black modern dolls are represented, followed by dolls depicting notable celebrities such as movie stars, sports ﬁgures, musicians, and civil rights leaders. On the opposite side of the room is an open nook covered with modern black dolls demonstrating just how many black dolls that can be collected today. The last case contains a collection of small dolls that are truly amazing. No one is certain of their original purpose but they are thought to represent a church choir. The unusual aspect is that the dolls have no lower bodies. They have only the head and arms. Another mystery to them is why some have different dresses than the others. Are they the soloists? Ending one’s visit is the pleasure of a stop in the gift shop. There is something for everyone from books to dolls to trinkets. It can be a reminder of an informative and memorable occasion with a delightful and knowledgeable lady.
