Here is a terrific book that I just found "out there"! This book has been needed for a long time. The photos are everywhere and it is easy to find the dolls you are looking for.</span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="color:#666600;"></span></strong> </div><div><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><strong>I was told years and years ago that two of my dolls were made by Dol-Toi and just recently I posted my Amersham house here on this blog and a fellow blog friend commented that she didn't believe Dol-Toi made dolls. That got me to wondering.</strong></span></div><div><strong><span style="color:#666600;"></span></strong> </div><div><strong><span style="color:#996633;">Thanks to this book I found that Dol-Toi did in fact make dollhouse dolls, and mine closely resembled their first dolls....but mine were not Dol-Toi!</span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="color:#666600;"></span></strong> </div><div><strong><span style="color:#339999;">Now I have discovered that my two dolls were designed by Katie Berl in 1943 and manufactured by the Grand Products Co. as their "<em>Mini Doll</em>" line! Pictured in the book was a "brother" to my Mr. Dol-Toi! (I suppose now Mr. and Mrs. Dol-Toi shall have to change their names to Mr. M. Line and Mrs. Mini Line!! ) Oh well!</span></strong></div><div><strong><span style="color:#cc66cc;"></span></strong> </div><div><strong><span style="color:#cc66cc;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Here is a wonderful new book and you can order it by emailing:</span> <a href="mailto:USA-info@schifferbooks.com">USA-info@schifferbooks.com</a> <span style="color:#cc0000;">or in England</span> - <a href="mailto:info@bushwoodbooks.co.uk">info@bushwoodbooks.co.uk</a>. </span><span style="color:#cc0000;">I paid $50 plus shipping but it is well worth the cost!</span></strong></div>Louisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03471915021853944565noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372372600035782978.post-77400595135261449082010-03-23T14:06:00.000-07:002010-03-23T14:08:49.967-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpX-pmMcdQ9_WqErry5ZU8-yHb9QPjd9ci1VGFWPrhyk9wlvpZc6przA3GPKsjm95KJNk8fLHlpR6XuKlRVE_EhnLYC3bdjgb9O2n9b-CLLRaGHA-Z_kXAV0UYc2LrIIkbaaFiN09B6pvB/s1600-h/doll+bk+back.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451938876681437090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 242px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpX-pmMcdQ9_WqErry5ZU8-yHb9QPjd9ci1VGFWPrhyk9wlvpZc6przA3GPKsjm95KJNk8fLHlpR6XuKlRVE_EhnLYC3bdjgb9O2n9b-CLLRaGHA-Z_kXAV0UYc2LrIIkbaaFiN09B6pvB/s320/doll+bk+back.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="color:#cc0000;">Here is the back cover of Dollhouse and Miniature Dolls 1840-1990.
