    They appear to be of celluloid.

    Who does not matter, and I don't think you'll ever find out to be truthful...............:(

    They were churned out in mass quantities for many years. I've never heard of an attribution as far as a manufacturer goes. I'm old enough to remember them being sold in bags of 12 as party favors. :)

    Would this be considered a celluloid version of a "Frozen Charlotte"?

    Fits the description, but I've never heard them referred that way................

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I thought Frozen Charlotte dolls were always made of a ceramic material like china or bisque.

    You're correct. I meant that because they have no moving parts, they could be referred to as frozen Charlottes.

    Oh, now I see. So it could be a phrase to search online. Thank you!
