Item description:

This lot presents a curated collection of approximately nine mid-20th century paper doll books and sets featuring a variety of themes and unique vintage graphics. Highlights include a “Coronation Paper Dolls and Coloring Book” depicting British royal attire and pageantry, complete with line art and vibrant color plates. The “Walking Paper Doll Family” set displays stylized depictions of a 1940s or 1950s American family and corresponding outfits. Additional sets include a “Nurse and Doctor Paper Dolls” collection, a large double-doll book labeled “Rocky and Judy,” and several smaller paper dolls, such as Betty Grable with original clothing accessories. Many dolls and outfits remain in protective sleeves or bags, ensuring the preservation of delicate paper components. Some show typical signs of use, such as wear at the edges or separation at tabs, consistent with items of this era. Together, these books and dolls illustrate an era of creative play and are increasingly scarce as intact sets.
