Vintage Annalees were gifted to me! Love them. A good History Read

The History of Annalee Dolls - Annalee Dolls
Annalee Dolls began in 1934 with Barbara Annalee Davis (later Thorndike) making dolls from her kitchen table in New Hampshire; her whimsical, felt-bodied creations, especially the iconic wire-framed skier dolls, gained fame in the 1950s after being used to promote state tourism, evolving from a craft business into a national brand known for its distinct, smiling faces and high-quality craftsmanship (furrier's stitch) before facing ownership changes in later years.
Key Historical Points:
Founding & Early Years (1930s-1940s): Annalee Davis started making dolls in the 1930s, initially selling them in New Hampshire and Boston. She married Chip Thorndike, and they moved to Meredith, NH, where she refined her craft.
Rise to Popularity (1950s): The State of New Hampshire commissioned dolls to promote tourism, leading to widespread recognition for their ski, hunt, and fishing themes. The company, officially "Annalee Mobilitee Dolls," was incorporated in 1955.
Signature Style: Dolls featured unique, hand-painted faces, felt bodies, and were known for their positive expressions, whimsy, and detailed outfits, often inspired by her sons and daily life. They used a strong "furrier's stitch" for durability, making them display pieces.
Growth & Expansion (1960s-1970s): The business moved from home to a dedicated factory in Meredith, becoming a significant regional employer, selling across the U.S. and Canada.
Ownership & Legacy (1990s-Present): Sons took over in 1992, followed by other partners, leading to changes in ownership, but production remained in Meredith, continuing the tradition of yearly new designs and retiring old ones.
