She and her cat are all cloth, with printed or drawn facial features.

Lovely all-composition doll, probably from the early 1940s, wearing her original taffeta bridal gown with attached slip and panty, and net veil.

She has a beautiful auburn mohair wig with felt flowers on either side. She is unmarked. The doll is in very good condition with no damage to the compo. There is a strange square hole in her lower back, but you can tell it was molded that way, not sure why. She could use a light cleaning. The dress has some stains and there are holes in the veil.

The next Shuttle missions were deployed in the fall of 1988. The female Astronaut has a ball-jointed neck, and jointed shoulders, hips and knees....

Vinyl Kewpie Dolls by Cameo and Others

In the 1950s and '60s, Cameo began making Kewpie and some of their other characters in vinyl, but also licensed other companies to manufacture them. This makes identification difficult, unless the original packaging is present, as they may be marked with the Cameo name while actually made by other manufacturers. Cameo closed in 1969, but founder Joseph Kallus retained his copyrights and continued to license them to various other firms. The dolls pictured above include an 8-inch Kewpie marked...

Beginning in 1964, the 8" doll had the drink and wet feature too. This causes confusion for collectors, as she was...
