Table of Contents
Description:
For generations, Horsman dolls delighted little girls when found under their Christmas trees. Virtually every doll collector is familiar with the Horsman name, and many have wonderful examples in their collections. 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. There's no horsin' around with this book - it's for the serious Horsman doll collector.
Publisher's Review:
This is the first doll collector's book to tell the Horsman story. It is part history, an intriguing tale of an ambitious, successful entrepreneur and his initially reluctant, but ultimately enthusiastic and innovative son. More importantly, it is the ultimate reference for collectors of Horsman dolls, with descriptive listings and more than 400 illustrations.
