Regal Dolls 1919-1940 USA

1928 Regal Kiddie Pal Dolly

The Regal Doll Manufacturing Company of Trenton, NJ and New York City, USA, prior to 1918 they were known as the German American Doll Company, they changed their name again in 1937 to the Regal Doll Corp.    In October 1933 they acquired the Horsman Doll Company and continued to produce dolls under each trade name of Regal and Horsman.  Regal made all composition dolls and composition and cloth Mama and Baby dolls using the trade name of "Kiddie Pal" in the 1930s they added Patsy type dolls.    The Horsman line of dolls were the superior brand, thus by late 1937 the Regal name disappeared and by 1940, only the Horsman dolls and company name remained.  The Regal Toy Company of Toronto, Canada is a different, unconnected company.
