Not much is known about this short lived American doll maker who made dolly face or baby dolls in all composition with ball jointed bodies, sleep eyes, quality wigs.
Art Craft dolls were made to compete with German bisque head dolls. I had to read this to believe it.. I bought this doll because I had never heard of her. she is all composition, ball jointed limbs.. some fingers missing but overall very nice condition doll. above is the best write up I could find about her from doll reference site.. she has beautiful brown human hair done up in a twisted bun, nice blue sleep eyes, open mouth and teeth,, bit of wear on her compo but overall very nice condition. tightly strung. as I received her.. she is wearing a lovely vintage pale mint green long dress and matching slip, antique shoes. about 21 inches tall as I received her.. I have two of these dolls each a bit different..
