Buddy Lee dolls were made by
the D. H. Lee Company Inc. a garment manufacturer in Kansas City, MO
USA from 1920-1962.
They can be composition (1920-1948) or hard plastic (1949-1962) dolls,
are 13" tall, have molded hair, painted side glancing eyes,
closed mouth and were dressed in
original Lee clothes depicting various occupations. Dolls should be
marked on their back: Buddy Lee.
Clothing often has a Lee label tag.
Some of the outfits are; Coca Cola
(white with red stripes), Football Player, Gas Station; Phillips 66, John Deere outfit,
The Genuine Jiffy (from the Jiffy Steamer Co.), Train Engineer and
there were surely others. In the
1990's a reproduction
or re-introduced Buddy Lee doll (s) in at least the Coca Cola
uniform was available now in white with green stripes.
