celluloid vintage dolls, animals etc.......
Celluloid is a type of early plastics. It was first used for dolls by the French in the 19th Century, then the Germans and by 20th Century it was used by the Japanese and American doll makers.
Celluloid dolls are somewhat fragile and are often found dented, cracked or broken completely.
Many of these baby dolls were used for International costume dolls and wore handmade clothing of the country.
Some of the older International costume dolls were manufactured in their factory made outfits depicting the country they were purchased from.
