More Paper Dolls!

I had forgotten that my brother, Philip, also has some of my mother's paper dolls.  He graciously offered to photograph them for the blog.

This appears to be a well-outfitted man about the Syracuse campus.


The red and white striped pinafore at the upper left corner is a Candy Striper uniform.  These hospital volunteers in red and white striped uniforms began in Orange, New Jersey in 1944 and became a tradition all across the country. 
And finally, Lena MacLean who seemed to be a fan of plaid and argyle.

Love these! Do you think any of the dolls were modeled after people she knew?

Good question! I don't think they were anyone specific, but rather typical "types".
