Sybil Jason (real name Sybil Jacobs, was born on 23 NOV 1929 in Cape Town, South Africa) was a popular child movie star from 1935-1944.

While you can find links to websites about actress Sybil Jason, we didn't find any about her dolls, so we made one.

Sybil Jason dolls have been found in sizes 14 & 19" tall (other sizes may have been available), all composition jointed body with a human or mohair wig, painted tin sleep eyes, feathered eyebrows, real upper lashes, painted lower lashes, closed mouth, dolls are unmarked. It is unknown who actually produced these dolls. A doll shown in Mertz's Composition Dolls Vol. I called a Stewardess doll, is probably also a Sybil Jason doll.

The dolls face is similar to the Dewees Cochran designed dolls for Effanbee called: American Children, also made of all composition, but they have very different hands. Cochran's doll design had very detailed hands with separate spread apart fingers, while the dolls shown here have hands resembling mittens, with the thumb separate and the rest of the fingers together.

Thanks to everyone who shared their expertise, photo's, an knowledge to make this page possible.
