An indispensable identification and price guide for every collector wanting to know more about hard plastic dolls-and about what they are worth. More than 600 photographs are combined with detailed descriptions to help the collector identify these charming dolls produced between 1946-1959. A comprehensive identification guide is complemented by additional sections on doll marks and on differences among hard plastic, composition, and vinyl dolls.
