Doll Bodies, Inc. Dolls 1950s+ USA
The Doll Bodies Incorporated company operated in New York City, NY in the late 1940s to 1950s. Other than ads run in trade subscriptions, little is known of this company. The most prolific of their plastic dolls that we have found is the 18″ Mary-Lu walker doll, who has a hip pin walker body with flat feet, sleep eyes, open mouth with teeth. She came as a dressed doll in various 1950s style, knee length dresses. Since she’s often unmarked, she can be difficult to identify.
Next might be the dress me type Lingerie Lu dolls because this type of doll is so prevalent in he 1950s and so many dolls are unmarked.


1958-1960s Doll Bodies LuAnn doll, 20″ tall, hard plastic walker, vinyl head with rooted hair, blue sleep eyes, jointed at knees, high heel feet, Miss Revlon look a like, may have been dressed as a bride doll, made by Doll Bodies, Inc. of New York. Doll Bodies Inc. ad states this doll was also sold with flat feet and 18″ tall.
Her box states “She’s my high heel playmate, nylon hose and pretty dress, of all the many dolls I have, I love my teenage LuAnn doll best, with vinyl head and rooted wig, to comb, wash or curl.
