The Allied Grand Doll
Manufacturing Company of Brooklyn, NY, is the way the company name appears
in early advertising, Allied specialized making black dolls, sometime in the 1960s the company name changed to Allied Doll & Toy
Company. Other names collectors use are; Allied Imported or Allied Eastern, due to the AE marking
often found on their dolls or perhaps because they were located on the Eastern coast
in the USA.
Allied Doll & Toy is mainly known today for making black
dolls and large sized vinyl and hard plastic high
heel fashion dolls. Dolls were mass produced and sold in bulk to other smaller companies, which marketed the dolls under different names. They also made
composition Baby dolls in white or black. Allied's dolls were very affordable and very popular, especially the bride dolls.
