Valuable Collectibles - The Discontinued Dolls Of Eegee Doll Company

The dolls of Eegee Doll Company are one of the popular vintage collectibles that most want to include in their doll collection showcase. The company owes its name to its founder E.G Goldberger and the company was established in 1917. The first few dolls had the markings "E.G." or "E. Goldberger" but other dolls that were made later bear the markings Eegee, Goldberger, or "TRADEMARK/EEGEE/Dolls/MADE IN USA". Most were made of materials such as composition, latex, hard plastic, and vinyl.






Here is a list of Eegee dolls that a collector can scour the internet for to add in their valuable collection:
