Description

Made by Britannic toymaker Norah Wells aka Victoria toy works, these dolls were made from 1926 to 1959. Jollyboy dolls can be identified by the name Charon on their hats. These sailor dolls were famously sold as souvenirs on board various ocean liners and cruise ships, featuring the name of the vessel on their hats. The name "CHARON" on the doll's hat indicates it was a souvenir from a ship named Charon, likely an ocean liner or cruise ship, similar to dolls found with names like "RMS Queen Elizabeth" or "Oronsay". These dolls were popular in the 1930s-1940s, with the first "Jollyboy" model introduced in 1929. These dolls were typically crafted from cloth materials like felt, velvet, and velveteen, with molded and hand-painted faces. Approx 8’ tall.
