A Royal Doll

Of course I'd heard of Madame Alexander dolls, made in Harlem, but I never knew about Royal Dolls made in Brooklyn since 1914. Believe they stopped making them in the late eighties, but I might be wrong. I've scored one, The Winter Bride, still in her groovy box, for a song, which is good because thanks to dolls I'm going tone deaf. She is bigger than I'd imagined, and just like the Mme.'s she has a wonderful gown and hair-do. If I didn't have too many dolls, I'd want more, so I'll probably be looking for them as gifts because I also like the Pennsylvanian Quaker, (they made dolls representing each state), and the Italian opera doll has a fabulous gown, like a Cissy, only that big doll looks more like a Chrissy with her smile.
