We hope you'll enjoy browsing through this catalog of dolls that were created by the Doll Unit of the Milwaukee WPA Handicraft Project. Portions of the catalog are taken from Catalogue Number 10 which the Project produced in 1939. The dolls were sold to tax-exempt institutions for the cost of materials. The body is made of percale stuffed with kapok.
Heads are of ribbed cotton which is starched, pressed in a mold, stuffed, and painted.
Hair is made of cotton warp in various colors and styles and can be washed. Each doll comes with a 6-piece wardrobe. The dolls are dressed in complete costumes representing particular nationalities. The body and head are stuffed as above. This is a light weight doll.
