Ralph A. Freundlich, Inc.1929-1942

First known as the Jeanette Doll Company from 1923-1929 at which time they changed the company name to Ralph A. Freundlich, Inc.  They operated out of New York and are best known for their composition novelty dolls.  Most of their dolls are unmarked so they can be a challenge to correctly identify. 

Some dolls attributed to the Ralph A. Freundlich company are: Feather Weight Doll, Baby Sandy, Baby with a Scale, Little Red Riding Hood, Grandma & Wolf, Three Little Pigs & Wolf, Dionne Quintuplets with a Nurse, Princess Doll, Little Orphan Annie & her dog Sandy, Dummy Dan & Don, Goo Goo Eva & Topsy, Sailor boy, Trixbe, Douglas Mac Arthur & other military dolls.

Here are some of the Freundlich dolls we have found:
