In the 50’s Deluxe Toy Creations, and later Deluxe Reading was primarily a manufacturer of dolls. In the pre-”Barbie” era, dolls were much larger, and much more glamerous. Although they could be played with, they were often viewed as collectable display pieces.For more information about these dolls, see the website The Deluxe Doll House, created by Deanna Kruger.
