The Scissors Bird Paper Dolls, ca. 1943

This is by Stephens Publishing, with no date listed, and none found in my Mary Young reference books. I'm guessing 1943, based on the fashions as well as the pulpy, foxed paper inside. WWII rationing of paper and fabric would still be in effect. Clothes are simple, daytime hemlines hovering around the knee.

Jane Withers by Marilyn Henry

 

A souvenir booklet from the 2005 Paper Doll Convention featured this portrait of Jane Withers by Marilyn Henry. The California events--luncheons and conventions--were star-studded events, masterfully organized by Gene Maiden and Deanna Williams.
