This mid-1960s catalog page from Steiff's display line, features a life sized doll version of our favorite man in red. His wheeled wagon, in the place of a sled, highlights some of the company's most popular product animal designs of the era.

We Are Zooming!
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the Doll Study Club of Boston has begun holding our monthly board and general member meetings on Zoom. We will continue doing so for the foreseeable future, until it is safe and allowed to gather in larger groups. Although nothing compares to meeting in person, this platform helps us to maintain our connections and share our passions for all things doll related - just at a distance!

MADAME ALEXANDER
Madame’s Inspirations: From Whence Her Designs Came
With Dr. Marsha Hunter, UFDC Region 9 Director
Embassy Suites Hotel
550 Winter Street, Waltham, MA 02451
Auction check-in from 8:30 am to 9:30 am
Event festivities from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
$75 per person
Dr. Hunter will focus on some of the unusual and little-known sources for the names of Madame Alexander’s dolls as well as the dolls created from those names. The celebrities, literature, characters, and everyday designs are well known, but early names and designs required extensive research. This program seeks to bring to light some of those more remote sources of inspiration.
This event is for UFDC members and their guests only.
Attendance is capped at 125 guests.
First come, first served. Please register today!
