Antique Nancy Ann Story Book Doll Bisque/porcelain 6 inches tall

Description

This precious Antique  Storybook Doll  by Nancy Ann is made of bisque/
porcelain .    Nancy Ann created this line in the 1930's and 1940's
One of Nancy Ann's main line of dolls was "storybook dolls" which were named after nursery rhymes and jingles.  The dolls were marketed to little girls, but, it is obvious that they had appeal to the mothers as well!  The bisque Storybook dolls were produced from 1936 to 1948.  By 1943, Nancy Ann had created 125 different characters, but the number was reduced to 77 when certain costume materials became unavailable or too costly.
She has the authentic "Story Book Doll" imprinted on her back. Also says Made in USA (I believe they were created in San Francisco but not sure of that)  There is also a serial number, but I can't quite read it.
I've looked her over carefully, and for being  well over 80 years old she is in good condition.   I can't find any chips or cracks on her, and no tears or holes in her dress.
She was stored in a trunk for many years, so her clothing is a bit flat from laying on her back, but as shown in the photos, not bad.
Her arms still  move, but I would handle her gently due to her age and the age of what ever rubber material that is holding her arms in place.
I will be listing more storybook dolls, so check back.
