More Mid-Century American Dolls 1945-1965: The Vintage Collections of Mel Odom and Others

The extraordinary vision of the doll fashion designer Mel Odom continues to delight collectors year after year. Yet few collectors know that Mel Odom also owned his own collection of vintage American fashion dolls of the 1950's. These are highlighted in this auction, ranging from early Barbies to rare Cissy fashion models. Also included are mint-in-box #1 Barbie, a superb private collection of more than 100 very rare 1950's Wendy-kin fashionable children and Cissettes, an extraordinary collection of fabulous and nearly impossible-to-find early boxed costumes for 1950's Alexander dolls, and a fine group of near-mint hard plastic dolls from various manufacturers.Theriault, Florence is the author of 'More Mid-Century American Dolls 1945-1965: The Vintage Collections of Mel Odom and Others', published 2004 under ISBN 9781931503273 and ISBN 1931503273.
