A solid pick for the Nancy Ann collector building out the Fairyland Series, or any vintage doll enthusiast.
Nancy Ann Abbott began making dolls out of her San Francisco apartment in 1936 with just $125 in capital; by the 1940s her company had grown into the largest doll manufacturer in the United States. The Fairyland Series was part of Nancy Ann's broader effort to expand beyond nursery rhyme characters into fairy tale figures, storybook seasons, and days-of-the-week themes, all designed and costumed under her direct creative hand.
