Nancy Ann Abbott began making dolls out of her San Francisco apartment in 1936 with just $125 in capital; her company, later renamed Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls in 1945, grew into the largest doll manufacturer in the United States by the 1940s, with daily production eventually exceeding 12,000 dolls at its peak. Plastic dolls like this one replaced the earlier bisque designs in the late 1940s, offering greater durability alongside Nancy Ann's signature costuming detail.
