Paper Doll

Paper dolls have been popular among girls for centuries. Made of a common and inexpensive material, paper dolls were easy to make and easy to use.

Unfortunately, paper dolls were by nature destroyed in the process of being played with. This is what makes vintage paper dolls so rare and valuable. Vintage paper dolls can be visions of a bygone era’s fashions, with detailed clothing that mimicked the fashions worn by the wealthy of their era. This makes them a favorite collectible among doll collectors, fashion lovers, and history buffs alike.

Magazines soon caught onto the paper doll craze and began publishing paper dolls in their issues. Newspapers also followed suit. Although they were once common enough to be on every magazine rack or newstand, these vintage paper dolls are among the most sought after.
