For a decade and a half, the doll manufacturer had followed a policy of making
what it termed a People’s Doll. A doll at a moderate price! Horsman’s
reputation in the 1930s and 40s was built on manufacturing a limited line of
well-made composition dolls, particularly baby dolls with mama criers. The
typical doll had a certain look, a familiar dolly face that changed
little from year to year.
Finding a Horsman baby doll under the tree, or as a birthday present, was an
experience almost every American girl knew. The company’s slogan, America’s Best
Known and Best Loved Dolls, said it all. Though the company had switched from
composition to vinyl,
In 1952, Horsman began rooting Saran fibers in their soft vinyl doll heads. The
next year – and for only that year – the company switched to another plastic
hair fiber, Dynell, for its stylable-setable Shadow Wave doll. But in 1954, it
returned to Saran because of its
strength and resistance to abrasion when
combed. Saran also had a better sheen
and “hung” better than other man-made
“hair.”, Walker dolls and a new,
improved
soft vinyl Fairy Skin were introduced. Fairy Skin, the company
advertised, was softer,
more realistic than the plastic previously used. Today,
Fairy Skin is identifiable by
the soft, almost radiant glow of its doll faces.
