Vintage Rubber Dolls 1950’s - 60’s

Filed under: Collectibles — Tags: , , , , , — countryjoe @ 8:32 pm

Vintage rubber dolls from the 1950’s - 1960’s are pretty neat collectibles, reasonably priced and not real hard to find. Each one usually has some type of squeaker mechanism located somewhere on the doll (usually the back of the head or on the foot). Because these dolls are painted rubber, it is not uncommon to find them today with paint rubs, faded, or with areas where the paint has flaked off. Naturally the less worn they are the better. Several companies made them, Edward Mobley & Co.; J.L. Precott, Sun Rubber; Dreamland Creations etc. Also many that are unmarked.

A few that we have in the shop.
