This 19 inches tall celluloid doll with glass blue eyes is from the 1930s and is a English made doll by Cascelloid(which was later to become Palitoy )in the dream baby style.He was made with a newly created (bexoid) safety material which is stamped on the back of his head and was described as non flammable celluloid at that time. I have read a dream baby doll was presented to Queen Mary in the mid 1930s at the British Industries awards!These dolls would often lose their teeth and tongue as they would be pushed into the head cavity during play,this doll has had his tongue and teeth retrieved from his head cavity and put back in place.
He is in remarkable condition for a celluloid doll of this age.I think he is adorable with his blue knitted bonnet.
