No restocking fees.THE ANNALEE STORY – “one of New Hampshire’s largest employers and the nation's most honored doll firms”Born in 1915, Barbara “Annalee” Davis started making cloth dolls in the 1920s and selling them as display items in 1934. She founded Annalee Mobilitee Dolls with husband Chip Thorndike in New Hampshire in 1955. At its height, 300 employees generated $15 million in sales. Son Chuck, who had begun managing daily operations in 1995, moved the manufacturing overseas in 2001. He and wife Karen, who still live in NH, signed many of the dolls owned by collectors today. After Annalee’s 2002 death, the company was sold in 2008 to a group that included the dolls’ Chinese manufacturer. In 2013 a small, mostly patriotic themed product line of USA-dressed dolls – called Assembled in America – was started in Meredith, NH where it continues today. A few dozen employees – many trained by Annalee over 25 years ago – currently design and market all Annalee dolls and operate a gift shop in Meredith.Prior to 1987, sewn-on labels only show the year(s) the design was copyrighted. More recently, labels include the year of manufacture. Some labels include both.We hope these dolls bring you great joy – each one is designed to make all who see them smile! (Condition: Pre-Owned)
