FOREWORD

by Robert Tonner

Why I’m Selling My Vintage Dolls First, some history. I’ve been collecting dolls since my early twenties—and I probably would have started earlier had I known that there was even such a thing.

In 1958, I was six and my sister was four. At that time, grown up-looking, “high heel” dolls were extremely popular. My mother, although not a collector, had a fondness for dolls (Effanbee’s Patsy was one of her favorites). My parents had little extra money to spend but Mom made sure that Mary received a beautiful doll each Christmas. That year, the doll was an exquisite, honey-haired Revon doll wearing Kissing Pink. Mary certainly liked her new doll, but I loved it! I thought it was the most wonderful thing I had ever seen.

Of course the doll world, just like the fashion world, is all about change. The fashion dolls produced by Ideal (Revlon) and Alexander (Cissy) among others were extremely popular in 1958; however everything was about to change. In 1959, Mattel introduced Barbie. I thought I loved fashion dolls before, but to a bedazzled seven year old boy, Barbie was the ultimate fashion icon!

In my early twenties, shortly after I arrived in Manhattan, I saw a flyer for a doll show (I believe it was the Larkin Hall Show that some may remember).

I was intrigued—although I had always loved dolls, as a little boy growing up in the Midwest, it never occurred to me that I could have dolls—that was until I went to that show. I walked in the door and it was just as advertised; it was a show and sale of more dolls than I had ever seen in one place and for the right price I could own one or more of these dolls!

That experience opened a whole new world for me.

That day I became a doll collector.

It was Barbie, at that Larkin Hall show that got me started with a collection that would grow and grow over the years. It wasn’t just the dolls that I loved about collecting—I began to love learning about the history (the modern history, that is) of dolls and doll manufacturing.

"I met doll dealers, who, of course, encouraged my new hobby—and through them, I learned of other collectors, doll clubs and events that took me deeper and deeper into my new passion."

Not long after I started collecting, I learned that some very talented artists made one of a kind and limited edition dolls by hand! I had had no idea! After extensive research into doll art, I attended my first

National Institute of America Doll Artists convention in the mid-eighties and I became hooked on the art form and I was determined to try my hand. With great determination and encouragement from some of the most talented artists working in the field (R. John Wright, Martha Armstrong Hand, Helen Kish and Robert McKinley to name a few) I started down the path to building my own doll company.

Although I was now making my own dolls, I never quit collecting. Every new mint in box doll was a thrilling find. My collection continued to grow.

My Philosophy On Collecting I’ve always sought the most perfect examples of dolls that I could find. I look for condition first and then rarity. I’ve never bought a doll based on what I think the value is or might be—it’s never been about that for me. It has always fascinated me to try to figure out the lifespan of the vintage brands I buy and at the same time, I love trying to figure out the corporate strategies of those brands. I am somewhat of a completionist also. Having a complete collection is a collector’s dream. My Fashion Toni’s and Revlon collections are about as complete as one can get and each and every find was a thrill!

"Every new mint in box doll was a thrilling find. My collection continued to grow."

So, Why Sell My Dolls?

When I told friends and family that I was going to auction off my collection—most seemed horrified!

They had to hear about each new acquisition and about the ones I missed. They heard about how thrilled I was about my Toni store display and the exquisite 22” glamour Revlon in the ball gown. They heard about each and every mint in box 14” Betsy and the Betsy Gift Sets. So how could I do this? How could I sell my collection?

It actually wasn’t something that I had planned to do. Sure, space was getting tight as I kept bringing in the dolls to complete my collection (as if that day would ever come) but I really had no desire to rid myself of any of the wonderful treasures that I had collected.

However, this past spring, I was looking for a doll that I knew I had—I wanted to photograph her for an article I was writing—and I looked and looked but couldn’t find her. That was when it dawned on me

that even though I have a lot of space and certainly a legitimate reason for owning all these dolls—perhaps it was time to pare down my collection.

I came to the realization, that although I’ve thoroughly enjoyed owning these dolls, I am, as are all collectors of art passing though generations, merely their current caretaker. It’s time to let other collectors enjoy these beautiful examples of modern doll making at its finest.

About Robert Tonner Robert Tonner’s early interest in the glamorous fashion dolls of the 50s formed a part of his early artistic inspiration, led him to a career in fashion design after graduating from Parsons School of Design, his designs for Bill Blass were frequently featured in Women’s Wear Daily, Town & Country, NewYork Magazine, The New York Times and Vogue.

Then Tonner’s long-time fascination with doll art inspired him to try his hand at sculpting original figures. In 1985, Tonner received a glowing review from the National Institute of American Doll Artists (NIADA) for a model-like fashion doll. During the years that followed, Tonner turned more of his attention to developing and perfecting his doll designs, eventually leaving the 7th Avenue fashion world to start the Robert Tonner Doll Company, Inc. in 1991.

Tonner’s “muse”, Tyler Wentworth, arguably his most famous creation, is based on a fictional 7th Avenue fashion designer. Her exquisite wardrobe, crafted from couture quality silks, cashmere, and brocades, is made without compromise, and is rich with handcrafted details, truly an echo of famed 1950s fashion dolls that inspired him and are featured in this book.

ABOUT THE COLLECTION When Bru deposed his wonderful wooden articulated body for poupées, it was but a variation of the wooden body artist mannequin that had been around for centuries — and, indeed, the smiling face of that doll was inspired by the famous smiling angel that graced the cathedral at Reims. The art character dolls of the early 20th century, whether of cloth such as Kathe Kruse or bisque such as Gebruder Heubach, drew upon acclaimed sculptures of children from the Renaissance. And dollmakers, always, always, have been inspired by the fashions of real people, whether au courant or historical, in the design of costumes for their dolls.

The inspiration may be a mere suggestion, a nudging of one's memory bank that says, "I saw something like that once before although I can't put my finger on it". Or it may be very specific, or specific with a new twist in construction or materials, or it could even be a re-introduction of a particular doll made and loved in past times.

The honest dollmakers of today acknowledge their inspiration from the past. The best dollmakers, in fact.

Robert Tonner is that. In both his statements and in his creations, he has acknowledged the debt that every artist owes to the past. And then, of course, as all great artists of every medium, he has used the knowledge of past works as an inspiration to create anew.

Robert Tonner's inspirations were more than idle conjecturing. Settling upon the 1950s American fashion doll as his metier, he then sought, evaluated, chose, and gathered the best examples from that era as his "teachers". For several decades elegant and fashionable 1950s lady dolls arrived at his home — "a wonderful new find!", he would exclaim again and again — whose designs served as inspiration for his own works.

He found costumes that collectors had read about, but never seen — and then he found them in the most wonderful original condition. "And then he preserved them carefully, most in their original boxes, coiffures intact, costumes fresh and vibrant, cheeks rosy.

Those dolls of inspiration are featured in this book.

With thanks to Robert Tonner, Florence Theriault

A Note About Condition: Collectors will note that we use the phrase "near mint" to describe most of the dolls in this book. What does that mean? The phrase is carefully chosen. While most collectors would describe the condition of these dolls as "mint" or, even, "very mint", we believe that the word "mint" should only ever be used when a doll is still sealed in original box, never seen the light of day, never been held in a hand. That is, actually, pretty impossible. So you can take our phrase "near mint" to mean "mint" if you choose, but we prefer to say, "these dolls are just in fabulous condition!"
