Eugenia Dolls 1930s-1950s
Not much is known of the
Eugenia Doll Company - except that they operated in New York, USA. They may have
purchased dolls from other manufacturers, that they redressed, composition dolls
have been found with dress label, tag from as early as 1938 - and
later hard plastic dolls into the 1950s.
We don't have actual dates for this
company but seems they stopped producing dolls in the 1950s.
The few dolls that seem to come to the
secondary market today are often dressed as brides so that may have
been their specialty, most dolls are unmarked, but original clothing will have an Eugenia
tag. A young Irene Szor began her design career here ca.
1947, after several years the company went bankrupt, at which time she
went to work for the Sayco Doll Company.
See the many vintage Eugenia dolls identified below.
