Impressive collection of vintage dolls
We read about this doll collection in an old magazine. The collection is housed in specially built cabinets in the Ardmore Library. Ask at the front desk and they will lend you a hardbound book that describes each doll. It is a very impressive collection of vintage, antique dolls.

300 dolls but no information
The number and variety and size of dolls is fascinating, but there are no labels or descriptive sheets of any kind. Some seem to be quite old and some are exceedingly tiny. But we had no idea of the story behind any of them or what might make them significant. An online description of the collection did say they were donated by the niece of the second governor of Oklahoma. Online sources say there are porcelain, bisque, leather, wood and wax dolls on display, but we do not know which ones they are. Then, a highlight of the collection is supposedly somere carved wood French dolls that were once owned by Marie Antoinette.. However, we do not know which ones they were.

A lot of dolls but what are they
No information on the collection. No history of the dolls. Some looked interesting but no history or data.
