BYE-LO BABIES




Here are 2 Bye-Lo baby dolls (L composition with composition hands and cloth "frog" body; R bisque head, celluloid hands, and cloth "frog" body), designed by Grace Story Putnam to represent a 3-day-old infant; they were first available in 1922, and produced in some form or other until 1952. Various German makers made the bisque heads. The cloth bodies were made by K&K in the U.S. Some had composition bodies made in Germany. Composition heads were made by Cameo Doll Co. in the U.S. Both of these dolls have sleep eyes and are marked "Grace S. Putnam."
