Kerr & Hinz started making dolls for Nancy Ann Storybook Co.
from their molds in the 1940’s. Then Nancy Ann Storybook Co painted the
dolls.
Also
in the 1940’s Kerr & Hinz
start making dolls for themselves and selling them with the stamp K & H -
USA on back. They came in little Heart Boxes and were signed on inside of
box, Kerr & Hinz, Santa Clara, Calf. Model B. They also sold cradles & high
chairs for the dolls.
I
purchased this collection from a lady that lived in Santa Clara, CA in the
1970’s when this old stock was discovered. She bought these dolls from the
original owner before the building was torn down in 1973. This stock has
been stored all these years. They were sued by Nancy Ann Storybook dolls
and ceased making dolls in 1956.
