EBTH Collectors Series: Dionne Quintuplets Doll Collection

Browse 580 Historical Pieces from a Cincinnati Doll and Toy Collector

Cindy on Her Mother’s Dionne Quintuplets Collection:

“This collection was my mother’s, who passed away in July. She always had an interest in the Dionne Quintuplets because she was born in the area that they were born in. They were a sensation in the 30s when she was growing up, so she tended to follow their stories. And my mother was a collector. Once she decided on something she wanted to collect, she collected it.

“After my dad died in the 90s, she needed something to do and wanted to keep her brain active, so she and my sister started finding these dolls, mostly from eBay but sometimes antique stores. Then after my sister died, she didn’t want to collect anymore, but the room was left as is, full of her doll collections. A lot were kept in glass cases or special holders. She would also buy strollers, baby bags, anything like that to display them. Everything had its place in that room—my mother was very organized.”
