Composition dolls

Composition dolls were popular from the 1920s and often advertised as unbreakable, which unfortunately is not the case!  They were manufactured from sawdust, glue and various other materials that were ground up and combined to make up the composition.  The finished doll was painted.  Some composition dolls are featured here.  Click on the thumbnail pictures for more detail on each doll.
