This is Poky-Hontas, a paper doll with "real" hair, produced by The DeJournette Mfg. Company, most likely in the 1950s.
Paper Doll House Co. was formed in Atlanta, Georgia in the late 1930s. When it incorporated in 1946, it was renamed after its paper doll designer, Alma DeJournette.
In the 1950s, their paper dolls had many added features that were not like other paper dolls sold at that time.
Examples listed in Mary Young's 20th Century Paper Dolls Identification & Values....
★ Dolls might come in a box that converted to a trunk or a house
★ Dolls might have paper clothes that were washable
★ Dolls might have eyes that blinked
★ If a baby doll, it might come with a cloth diaper, bottle and actually drink water
★ Dolls might have "real" hair
Poky-Hontas came with six colorful decorated dresses and a jacket, plus some small accessories that are missing from my set
What a nice wardrobe to dress little Poky-Hontas!
This special paper doll can still be found new in the package on Ebay.
OK, now you are wondering about the information above telling you "If a baby doll, it might come with a cloth diaper, bottle and actually drink water"....I did also! Mary Young answered that question by adding a picture of the paper doll box,
