Vintage Angel Paper Doll
Paper Dolls have been around as long as there has been paper! Wow, who knew?
In France, in the mid 1700's, paper dolls, the first paper dolls were made in Europe. They began as amusement for adults in high society. They were drawn or painted and were very much like today's paper dolls. These rare French paper dolls can be found in museums today.
The largest producer of American paper dolls was McLoughlin Brothers, was founded in 1800 and was later sold to Milton Bradley in the 1920's.
A paper doll convention is held in the United States every year. Vintage paper dolls are becoming more and more rare because of the paper aging process and are very collectible, with sets going for between $100 and $500.
I hope you enjoy this lovely vintage angel paper doll!
