Children's Playmate, January 1934 with Cinderella paper doll by Fern Bisel Peat

 

Tillie the Toiler paper doll, Feb. 1933

I think Tillie has the perfect outfit for New Year's Eve--and the morning after. 

That's Mac's profile peeking out on the turtleneck. Well, she could have had his face embroidered onto the sweater, I guess.

These fashion designs are 90 years old, but they would pass muster today!

J&P Coats Spool Cotton trade card ca. 1890s.

What's not to love about this whimsical image? 

Perfect for sailing into a new year.

Red Riding Hood, Crackerjack prize, 1946

 

Baby Bunting, an Oilette postcard

This is a reproduction of an Oilette postcard.

 

Oilettes were introduced by Raphael Tuck in 1903, but this postcard looks more like the teens or the twenties. Illustrated by M.E. Banks.

 

Brenda Starr's Christmas Greetings, Dec. 1941

 

Happy Holidays Sticker Snowman paper doll, Hallmark

 My friend Anita sent me this one, and I knew I had to scan it in so I can play with it. I'm guessing this came out fairly recently. 

It's marked "Hallmark Cares," indicating a card made from "well-managed forests."
