Vintage Black BABY DOLL HEAD MOLD Mattel/Shindala? + BARBIE DESIGNER Jack Ryan Archive COA! *The Museum is pleased to present this remarkable Baby Doll Head Mold from the Jack Ryan Archive. Piece appears to be head mold for a black doll. Designer Jack Ryan was the head of R & D (Research & Design) at Mattel and mastermind behind the creation of Barbie, Hot Wheels, the patented talking-device system and numerous other classic Mattel innovations of the 1950’s and 1960’s. This piece was in Mr. Ryan’s personal collection and has been consigned by his daughter, Ann Ryan. Piece comes with COA from The Museum of Mom and Pop Culture signed by Ms. Ryan. *Size of head is 5 x 5 x 6″ tall. *Size of head with bracing is 6″ tall x 7″ wide x 10″ in length. *Weight is 4.3 pounds. OVERALL CONDITION: Very Good or Better! Material appears to be a metal blend with a distinctive pebbled surface. There is some light, copper-colored wash or discoloration around eyes, nose and mouth, perhaps due to some aspect of the production process. See photos for visual details. Don’t miss this dramatic and historic work of industrial sculpture! HISTORICAL INFORMATION: In the late 1960’s, Mattel was instrumental in the support of the culture-changing development of the Shindala Toy Company in Los Angeles. Jack Ryan was the head of production at Mattel in these years. We are not sure whether this was an actual Shindala doll element, a proposed element or a sample of an earlier African American doll head used in the development of Mattel / and or Shindala. It has been noted that the material is similar to the sculptural work of Joyce Christopher, who was a key sculptor at Mattel at the time. Some Mattel personnel was part of the Shindala effort. We do not know if Ms. Christopher was the sculptress of the amazing piece or not. If anyone can further ID this head, please email and we will post. The lack of a neck flange pretty much says the head from this mold was created to be attached to a cloth body. Thank you for your interest in helping to solve this mystery. *SHINDALA TOYS was a division of Operation Bootstrap, Inc., was a South Central Los Angeles, California cooperative toy company in business from 1968 to 1983. It was launched as a black empowerment and community rejuvenation effort following the Watts riots. Company proceeds supported businesses in the Watts area. Named after the Swahili word roughly meaning “to compete,” Shindana Toys was community-owned and founded by Louis S. Smith, II and Robert Hall. The latter was the company’s first CEO and President; though he was succeeded in both posts by Smith. The Chase Manhattan Bank, the Mattel Toy Company, Sears Roebuck & Co., and Equitable Life Assurance helped finance portions of the Shindana Toys operations. Shindana Toys was historically significant for being one of the first toy companies to market ethnically-correct black dolls. A goal of the company was to raise black consciousness and improve self-image. In a 1970s Los Angeles Associated Press article, company president, Louis Smith said, “We believe that only by learning to love oneself can one learn to love others… Shindana believes that by marketing black dolls and games that both black and white children can learn to relate to at an early age, the company can foster the spirit of what Shindana is all about, love.” The first doll created by Shindana Toys was named Baby Nancy. Many later Shindana Toys dolls featured ethnically correct names, including names that were Swahili in origin. Operation Bootstrap contracted with Mattel Toymakers to create a talking voice unit, just like the one invented for Chatty Cathy in 1960, for their doll Tamu in 1971. **PLEASE NOTE – MR. RYAN DEVELOPED MATTEL’S TALKING VOICE UNIT – INDEED, ANN RYAN, HIS DAUGHTER AND CONSIGNOR OF THE DOLL MOLD, WAS THE ACTUAL VOICE OF CHATTY CATHY. **NOTE: If anyone can further ID the doll based on this head mold, please email and we will post.
