In 1928, due to the popularity of Patsy, a boy companion doll was introduced. His name was Skippy and he was advertised as Patsy's boyfriend. The character of Skippy originated with the comic strip by Percy Crosby, which was soon made into a movie called "Skippy". Jackie Cooper started as Skippy in the movie. The movie was hugely successful and both the movie and Jackie were nominated for Academy Awards.
In 1927, the Effanbee Doll Company introduced a new doll called, Patsy. The original Patsy doll was a 14" tall composition doll. Patsy was different from previous dolls because she was a toddler doll, not a baby doll, which was the standard up to that point in time. Another special feature was that she came with additional clothes, which was atypical for that time. Several pattern companies made designs, so that mothers and daughters could make clothes for the girls' Patsy dolls. These patterns almost all come from the mid-1930s and reflect the fashions of the time.
Patsy became an instant success and was made for many years in a large variety of sizes. The Patsy doll was ultimately made in many sizes including: 5 ½" Wee Patsy, 8" Babyette, 9" Patsyette, 11" Patsy Jr. (Patsykins), 13" Patsy Baby, 14" Patsy (Patricia), 16" Patsy Joan, 18/19" Patsy Ann, 22" Patsy Lou, 26" Patsy Ruth and 30" Patsy Mae.
This pattern was originally created Jan 7, 1932. The copyright for this pattern has expired and it entered the public domain Jan 1, 1961.
