I got these vintage dolls at an auction.
Anyone know what kind of dolls they are? Sold as StoreyBook dolls? I researched and I don’t think they are. Four are the same and one is different. 8” and 10” dolls.
These are often called Duchess dolls or PMA dolls . They were sold to display and also as giveaways by many companies in the 50's . They were sold in decorated boxes .https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-1950s-dolls-all-nations-1-3768669175. So many companies bought nude dolls and dressed them in their factory that they are quite abundant in todays market , The last doll is she 10 1/2 inch talll ? A little miss revlon type doll ? Is she marked on back of neck or her back ?

Yes. She’s 10 1/2”.
Marked with a P in a circle on the back of the neck.
Based on my research, I think she’s a miss Revlon doll. But I’m not completely sure.
Maybe this doll?
