Uneeda  Doll Company - Dolls 1917 - 1970's

Uneeda Doll Company was founded in (1917-1991) Brooklyn, New York city USA.  They produced thousands of cloth, composition, hard plastic and vinyl dolls, that were well made and reasonably priced.  In the 1930's Uneeda Doll Company was advertising over 400 models from 14" to 28" tall and most are unmarked. They were also know as the Tony Toy Company of Hong Kong and some dolls are marked as such.

One of the most unique dolls Uneeda produced, were the Dollikin's, these were the most posable of the fashion dolls with multiple joints that allowed the doll to pose, almost like a human.  Uneeda dolls are often unmarked or marked with Uneeda inside a diamond, U or UN or have Tony Toy Co Hong Kong, in the marking.  Their slogan was:  A Uneeda Doll is a gift to be treasured.                                       

Here are some dolls by Uneeda we have found:
