Notes

small hospital training doll, c1920s-50s (possibly a Chase Company doll) In 1913, baby dolls, sometimes called Sanitary Dolls," were made by the -Chase Company in infant and children sizes, ranging from new-borns to four-year olds, based on standard measurements set by the American Medical Association. Those dolls were used in public demonstrations to teach mothers the essentials of child care, and were also used in schools of nursing for teaching and practice of paediatric clinical skills. The dolls were weighted to simulate actual body mass and had nasal and aural openings which made them distinct from toy dolls. Such a doll was most commonly called "Baby Chase." from- Connecticut Nursing News, Mar-May 2000 article by Eleanor Krohn Herrmann
