Uneeda 1958+ Vintage Dollikin Dolls Identified USA
Uneeda Doll Company Inc. made the Dollikin dolls from 1958 until the 1980s. Dollikin’s began as 19-20″ fashion dolls – the world’s most posable doll marked UNEEDA 2S (sometimes mis-read as Uneeda 25 or Uneeda 28). Dollikin dolls have rooted hair in various colors and styles, sleep eyes and most amazing – sixteen joints to pose her, just like a human (well a young one at least). The Dollikin doll was sold as a dressed doll in outfits from a ballerina tutu to day dressses.
Note; There are Uneeda 2S marked dolls that haved the same Dollikin heads, but do not have the sixteen multi-joints, only six joints at the neck, shoulder, waist and hip joints. These dolls are “Dollikin like”, high heel fashion dolls, but do not command a price value anywhere near that of the true multi-jointed Dollikin dolls.
