Collector's Encyclopedia of Madame Alexander Dolls 1948-1965 (Identification & Values (Collector Books))
In 1948, the Alexander Doll Co. began making dolls out of hard plastic instead of composition. Those playthings are said to be among the most sought after of all dolls. This picture price guide focuses on Madame Alexander dolls made from 1948 to 1965. Each illustration is paired with a brief caption detailing the year the doll was made, its name, size, details and a value. -Don Johnson/AntiqueWeek
