The Acme Toy
Company of New York city, USA produced a large line of Mama and baby dolls made of
composition or composition & cloth.
They also supplied doll parts to other manufacturers. Their dolls
were very good quality and usually dressed in fine fabrics. It's
thought that they produced some of the Kiddiejoy dolls for Jacobs
& Kassler Hirtz, a German doll manufacturer.
Here are some Acme Toy Company dolls
we have found.

This was a competitor to Horsman's
Tynie Baby doll, in fact Horsman sued them, but lost in
court as their doll was only marked with : E.I.H. which
was ruled not sufficient for infringement of their copyright
(but was probably soon rectified). Doll is marked: Acme
Toy Co. |
