The Victoria Toy Works company produced a range of sailor dolls known as the ‘Jollyboy Sailor’ in 1929, and continued to manufacture them until 1959 when the business closed down. The dolls were sold aboard ocean liners as souvenirs, with each one featuring the name of the company or the liner on its uniform. They were produced in a wide range of different sizes, and today are popular with collectors due to their variety.
Norah Wellings was from Shropshire, England. She was the main doll designer at Chad Valley Dolls from 1919 to 1926, when she left to form her own doll company with her brother Leonard. The resulting company was the Victoria Toy Works, located in Wellington, United Kingdom. All the dolls produced here were from various types of cloth. Norah\'s dolls were sold worldwide, and many were made for various tourist industries, most notably the cruise ship industry, for which Norah\'s sailor dolls were made for various cruise ships as souvenirs.
Years of Production of Norah Wellings Dolls:Norah started producing dolls through her own company in 1926, and the dolls were produced until the factory was closed in 1959 (although the dolls were available into the early 1960s). The vast majority of the production of the Victoria Toy Works factory was in the 1930s and 1940s.
