Flagg Dodger Doll

Flagg and Company, Inc. manufactures of flexible play dolls, was located at 91 Boylston St. Jamaica Plain 30, Massachusetts. The firm began just after WWII from the home of founders, Sheila and Charles Flagg. The couple met during the war while she worked in a factory and he served at the Navy ship yard. Sheila was the artistically creative side of the partnership, sculpting the dolls from soap, designing and sewing their clothes, and painting their hair and faces. Charles was the mechanically creative partner. He made the molds, created the special casting oven, designed a hydraulic press to cut out the clothing, and invented a stapler to affix the clothing to the dolls. The company closed in 1985.

The company specialized in miniature dollhouse dolls, and also created 7 inch, hand painted dolls with such themes as storybook characters, professions, and international custom dressed dolls. By 1951 Flagg issued a 7" flexible sports Series doll, that included; Ski Girl, Tennis Girl, Skating Girl, Golf Girl, Drum Marionette, Bathing Beauty, and a Baseball Player in uniform, hat, and bat. The generic baseball player dolls, came in the same style box as all the other dolls, but with no team name on the jersey. Some had a different color scheme.

The Flagg Doll company manufactured special baseball player Dolls for Danny Goodman wearing a Dodger uniform. Danny Goodman, the Los Angeles Dodger marketing genius known as the greatest baseball paraphernalia salesman in the history of the game. Goodman introduced the bobble head doll to the U.S. market, the idea brought over from Japan in the 1950s. The Dodger dolls were sold as souvenirs at Memorial Coliseum, and were also made available by Danny Goodman Concessions, through the mail for $2.00.
