The American Toy & Novelty Co. manufactured dolls that resembled the very popular licensed Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls in the 1930's and 1940's. Their names were "Buddy" and "Sis". These dolls were 15" tall with oilcloth heads and wigs made of yarn. The bodies of these dolls doubled as their outfits. Buddy's pants were separate as was Sis's skirt. Outfits were made from odd pieces of fabric often not matching at all! My "Buddy" doll is only in fair condition, but dolls (especially matching pairs) that are in excellent to mint condition are commanding very high prices on eBay!
