It is an American tradition to collect dolls and miniature figurines and to pass down the love of the doll into the next generation.
While the concept may seem a bit like collectivism, the practice is actually quite old. In the 1920s, the American Dollmaker’s Club was created by a group of art collectors and crafters. The members of this group were committed to collecting rare dolls and miniature figurines, passing that love on to their offspring.
