Dream World dolls were manufactured in the USA from maybe as early as the late 1930s to the early 1950s. Dolls are all composition, 11" tall, with jointed bodies; neck, shoulders and hips, have a glued on mohair wig, painted side glancing blue eyes with painted upper lashes and a red painted closed mouth.
Dolls have their clothing stapled to the body, came in elaborate formals, dressed in International costumes, as a personality or even dressed for an occupation. Thousands of these inexpensive dolls were sold to decorate a bedroom shelf and many dolls are found today in all original clothing, as it is stapled on.
Doll shown is Carmen Miranda. Dolls are unmarked, came with a hang tag that identified them and will probably have staple marks on the dolls back from the attached clothing.
Junel Novelty Company made similar 11" dolls with side glancing painted eyes, dolls are unmarked, no staple marks on the bodies and Madame Alexander made side glancing painted eye 11" Wendy Ann dolls, which are marked with their name and do not have staple marks on the dolls body.
