Allied Imported, Allied
Doll Company, Allied Doll & Toy Company or Allied Grand Doll Mfg. Inc.,
of Brooklyn, NY a doll manufacturer, is mainly known today for making large sized vinyl and hard plastic high fashion dolls.
Dolls were
mass produced and sold in bulk to other smaller companies, which
marketed the dolls under different names. They also made
inexpensive composition dolls, Allied's dolls were very affordable
and very popular, especially the bride dolls.
Collectors often call this company
Allied Eastern due to the AE marking found on
dolls or perhaps because they were located on the East coast.
