Sleepyhead
was manufactured by
The Knickerbocker Toy Company in the late 50's. They are 15" tall with a vinylite plastic face and stuffed plush pink
body. The Knickerbocker "Sleepy Head" doll is featured in the Baby Boomer Dolls Reference Guide, by Michele Karl, on
page 98. Bessie Pease Gutman used a classic doll just like this as her model for her famous painting "Two Sleepy Heads".
Sleepyhead #1 (left) has blonde yarn hair peeking out of each side of her face and her forehead.
The facial paint is intact and still vibrant. She has a pink plush body that could use a cleaning, but otherwise
is in fairly good condition. Her tag is still sewn on the front of her body which reads: "KNICKERBOCKER/TOY CO. INC./ NEW YORK U.S.A." Sleepyhead #2 (right) has brown yarn hair peeking out of each side of her face and her forehead. The facial paint is intact and still vibrant. She has a pink plush body that could use a cleaning and has a few worn spots, but otherwise is in fairly good condition. Her tag is still sewn on the front of her body which reads: "KNICKERBOCKER/TOY CO. INC./ NEW YORK U.S.A." These dolls were owned by two sisters. Whenever one got a doll, the other one got the same thing, only in a different
color so they could tell them apart.
