Schoenhut's
Rolly Dolly Toys |
| The earliest Schoenhut patent for their Rolly
Dolly line of toys is Dec 2, 1902. At least 70 designs were made over
many years of production. These toys were made from composition material
and had a weight imbedded in their bottoms so they would right
themselves, in a rolling motion, when tipped over - thus their name. |

On the bottom of all of Schoenhut's Rolly Dollys is a
label. These look like they are printed on a cloth material - probably
to increase durability.

This may not be a Schoenhut. Their style was often

The composition head on this one looks similar to the
composition head version of the Lady Rider. |
