Comments: Kerr and Hinz, circa 1945, for Dollcraft, the Santa Clara doll firm that created their look-alike Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls until restrained by a lawsuit by the Nancy Ann firm; among the Dollcraft Kerr and Hinz line was a wedding series, represented here in its totality in a deluxe presentation. Value Points: very rare and perfectly preserved ensemble with wonderfully detailed original costumes.
