Vintage Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls USA Baby Doll 5.5” Bisque Friday’s Child ❤️

Description: Vintage Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls USA Pat/App/For Baby Doll 5.5” 👶🏼 Found this and a few other Nancy Ann dolls (listed separately) at a annual community vintage sale. The sweet lady I purchased them from said she used to play with these as a child. This doll is all ceramic or porcelain, bisque, including the body. She measures approximately 5 1/2” tall. Her outfit and hair are very aged. To be expected from use and age. Her outfit seems to be complete but I’m not an expert on these dolls. The face is hand painted beautifully. Her back is stamped Story Book USA Pat/App/For. This one has the sticker that was once attached to her arm but has fallen off. It said her name is Friday’s Child 184. Sweet little doll. 👶🏼👶🏼 History of Storybook Dolls by Nancy Ann Nancy Ann Abbott was the creative genius behind the belovedbook Dolls. She started the Nancy Ann Storybook Doll Company in 1936 in San Francisco, California. These dolls quickly became a sensation among both children and collectors for their whimsical charm and attention to detail. The Storybook Dolls were inspired by classic children’s tales and fairy tales. Nancy Ann designed each doll to resemble a character from these stories, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, or Goldilocks. The dolls were made of hard plastic, with jointed arms and legs, and stood about 6 to 8 inches tall. One of the notable features of Nancy Ann’s dolls was their intricately crafted outfits. Each doll had its own unique costume, reflecting the character it represented. The outfits were made with fine fabrics and adorned with delicate details, such as lace, ribbons, and embroidery. Nancy Ann was known for her unwavering commitment to quality and craftsmanship. She insisted on using high-quality materials and employed skilled artisans to create the dolls and their outfits. This dedication to excellence made the dolls highly sought after by collectors. Over the years, Nancy Ann expanded her doll line to include different series, such as the “Storybook Dolls of All Nations” and the “Storybook Character Dolls,” which featured characters from literature and historical figures. These dolls further cemented Nancy Ann’s reputation in the doll collecting community. Nancy Ann continued to create and produce her beloved Storybook Dolls until her retirement in the late 1950s. Although her company closed its doors, the legacy of Nancy Ann and her Storybook Dolls lives on in the hearts and collections of doll enthusiasts worldwide. 👶🏼👶🏼👶🏼 We purchase our items from private collections, estate sales, flea markets, swap meets and of course antique shops!
