Roberta Doll Company Dolls 1946-1970s USA
The Roberta Doll Company was a small to mid-sized doll maker from about 1946 to the 1970s. Not much is known about the Roberta company. Doll collectors will find the company made or sold composition, hard plastic and vinyl dolls, many dolls that look like other doll makers, knock-off dolls or dolls bought to dress and sell from other doll manufacturers.
The Roberta Doll Company is probably best known for their LuAnn Simms and Roberta Ann dolls and they also sold Teenage dolls, glamour high heel girls, Ballerinas, Brides and some Baby dolls too.
