The American Character Doll Company was an American toy company specializing in dolls. Their most popular dolls included "Tiny Tears," "Tressy," "Butterball Doll", "Sweet Sue," and "Toodles." Founded in 1919, the company's fortunes peaked in the mid-20th century, as they sold millions of dolls exclusively to retailers and mail-order houses such as Sears and Montgomery Ward.[citation needed] The company was the first to produce mass-marketed rubber dolls in the United States.[3] American Character Dolls went bankrupt in 1968, with their assets acquired by the Ideal Toy Company.
