What is the difference in baby dolls?

Character Babies (1910 – 1920′s) have a five part composition body with a bisque head. Most were made in Germany with the maker information inscribed on the back of their heads. They were made to look like real children of the day for a more realistic doll.

Chubby Toddlers (1930-1940′s) are an American made doll and are all composition with painted or tin eyes (a few acrylic). Composition toddlers could be made more economically and soon took the place of bisque head German imported dolls after the German firms went out of business.

Composition Babies (1925 - 1940′s) have a cloth body with composition arms, legs, and head. Made in the United States, they had a cry box in the torso. Quality varied with attention to detail, clothing, paints and eyes of tin, paint and acrylic (which often crystallized with age).
