Pollock’s Theatres Catalogue, September 1960, included dolls available in all sizes, from 1 ½” – 12”. in the early days. These dolls are from the 1960 catalog. The Queen Anne lady and gentleman are specified in “Other Costumes,” 6”- 15cm, 5 ½”-14cm. The lady’s skirt was padded with a scrap of The Radio Times dated November 26th, 1970. The Guardsman, 11 ½”-29cm minus his busby, and the Cheeky Young Chap, 10”-25cm, are examples of dolls “dressed to order” for sale. The Coachman, 6 ½”- 16.5cm, is wearing a “felt representation of historic costume.” He is illustrated top right on the catalog page. This doll was from the collection of the late Marjorie Smith, a dedicated UFDC member. Please visit Pollock’s Toy Museum website for more information: www.pollockstoymuseum.co.uk/.
