Horsman Dolls
Edward Imeson Horsman opened a toy company in New York city in 1865 and became a leader in the toy industry. In its over 140 years of history, Horsman has been a leader in posable dolls. Back in 1960, Horsman introduced Wonderkin, a baby doll with 10 joints. Wonderkin was considered at that time "the most flexible doll ever made." In the early years they produced a variety of composition dolls wearing wigs, molded or painted hair, sleep or painted eyes. By 1911 they used a new formula to make "Can't break Em" dolls like the Billiken. From 1957 until 1986 Irene Szor designed dolls & clothing for Horsman. About 1980 the Horsman name was sold to an Asian company and produced dolls under the name Horsman Ltd. and the dolls are now made in Hong Hong today.
