Reely Trooly Paper Dolls, c. 1915

A recent purchase from an estate sale via Judy Johnson. The dresses are real cloth.

See more antique paper doll items for sale at Paper Goodies From Judy's Place.



I found these images of an uncut set online at Aleph-Bet Books.

  1. Can I ask you to look at photos of a new box of Six Reely Trooly Dolls and let me know if it is authentic?

  2. Now I have another question...I have discovered a paper doll named Betty that seems to have been called either Li'l Miss or Miss Magic. There seems to be one company based out of a home in NY who sold the complete dolls, most likely including other names and outfits and another company printed the cut-out clothes patterns. The one I have was owned by a very young girl and only one clothing pattern has been cut-out and remarkably the young girl placed all of the cut-outs in a family envelope post-marked from 1954. The only thing that I can find that is actually missing is the cardboard stand the doll was placed in. Have you ever heard of this doll and do you know any more about it? Thanks. Kathy

  3. I wish I could help but photos are necessary. Your best bet: Join Paper Doll World on Facebook and post photos there. There's a lot of knowledge in the group!
