Latest Featured MakersAntique Q&A: Kling & Co. All-Bisque
by DOLLS Magazine Contributor | Antique Dolls, Collectible Dolls, Doll Collecting, Doll Identification & Values, Dollmakers, Kling & Co. |
I found a pair of little all-bisque dolls at an antique shop. They are about 4 inches tall and are marked 31-10, no maker’s name. The seller didn’t know anything about them except that they were in a box of vintage handkerchiefs at a house sale. None of my doll club members could identify them. Can you help me?

The big news in toys back in 1968 was the release of a talking Barbie! This had been on the drawing board for several years — Mattel’s 20-inch Chatty Cathy from the early ’60s could say several different phrases. But it was hard to adapt the talking mechanism — a miniature record player, complete with speaker — to fit inside Barbie’s 11.5-inch body.
