.But little has been known about the maker of these dolls, E.I. Horsman Co., and its successors who used the trademarked name. Few collectors are really aware of the countless types of Horsman dolls, with their cute faces, high quality construction, and attractive outfits, that have been sold for well over a century. .."Collector’s Guide to Horsman Dolls, 1865 - 1950" is the first book on the market to tell the fascinating Horsman story. Partly historical and partly an intriguing tale of an ambitious entrepreneur and his son, the book is a story of these American doll manufacturers who created literally millions of well-made dolls that generations of youngsters loved and cherished. It is the ultimate reference for Horsman doll collectors, with descriptive listings and over 400 full-color photographs, vintage catalog pages, and advertising pictures of commonly found and remarkably rare dolls. This book is for the serious Horsman doll collector. 176 pages.
