What makes this task so difficult is that the museum needs to replicate both dolls. Finding black and white twins from this era is not going to be an easy task, but with your help and hopefully help from others, it will be done.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-25005745326790112192011-04-03T17:36:57.874-05:002011-04-03T17:36:57.874-05:00Debbie,

Supposedly the dolls were bought for $.50 each at Woolworth's on 125th St. in Harlem. <br /><br />This information was found at the following website:<br />http://www.drbilllong.com/Jurisprudence/Brown.html<br /><br />The next step in the research is to find out what companies supplied Woolworth's with their dolls in the 1940's. <br />Also Woolworths name was changed in 1997 to the Venator Group then in 2001 changed to Foot Locker. I am wondering if Foot Locker maintains any of the old Woolworths records? It couldn't hurt to contact them. <br /><br />Wish my uncle was still with us as he was a buyer for Woolworths in New York.Franniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686476151173827445noreply@blogger.com
