American Colortype Company printed paper dolls from the early 1900s through the first World War. Little Alice Busy Bee is thought to have been printed circa 1910-1920.
When published, Little Alice came with three outfit sheets....915, 916, and 917.
My Little Alice Busy Bee wasn't so lucky,
but she did come with some clothes and accessories.
Here is my Little Alice Busy Bee at 12¼" tall.
She is in fairly good condition for being over 100 years old.
Here is patriotic Little Alice Busy Bee.
Little Alice also has a festive hat
to wear with her pretty pink dress.
On other days she takes her dolly for a walk.
When autumn is in the air, Little Alice Busy Bee
bundles up in her brown checked coat and leggings.
And if there is snow on the ground, she bundles up
her dolly and gives her a ride on her own small sled.
Here are some other items
that came with my Little Alice Busy Bee....
Copies of the same clothes shown above,
but these are on water color paper
to give the child even more playtime!
