EFFANBEE DOLLS - Before Tonner

Hello and welcome to the Effanbee Gallery in this Gallery you will find dolls that were manufactured by the Effanbee company before its bankruptcy and purchase by Robert Tonner.

This is one of our smaller Galleries.  Do you have a fabulous Effanbee doll that you would like to share with others through our Museum?  Please contact me for information on how to submit your photos so they can be added to our gallery. 

EFFANBEE DOLL CATALOGS


Old catalogs are a great way to learn more about the dolls.  Catalogs can be used to identify dressed dolls, clothing, and accessories.  Catalogs can also help you decide which doll you need to add to your collection, next.  Our Effanbee Catalogs go back all they way to 1977 and continue to include catalogs from the Tonner era of Effanbee up to 2005.  After you have finished viewing the dolls in our collection, take a few minutes to browse our downloadable Effanbee catalogs.
