Not much is known of the Eugenia Doll Company, they operated in New York City, the early Eugenia dolls appear to be made from Arranbee's composition Debu'teen dolls that they dressed as Brides or in elaborate gowns with Eugenia tags.  Eugenia made hard plastic dolls into the early 1950's.

 The few Eugenia dolls that come to the secondary market today, are often dressed as brides so that may have been their specialty, most Eugenia dolls are unmarked, original clothing will have an Eugenia tag. 

A young Irene Szor began her design career at Eugenia around 1947, after several years the company went bankrupt around 1953, at which time she went to work for the Sayco Doll Company.

See the many vintage Eugenia dolls identified below.
