Googly eyed doll

A googly eyed doll or googly is a doll of a type popular in the early 20th century. The dolls featured large, bulging eyes, often looking off to one side.^[1] Their heads were made of bisque, with bodies made from cloth, papier-mâché, bisque, or a combination of materials.^[2]

Researchers have suggested that the term googly eyed originated from the German Guck Augen meaning "ogling eyes".^[3]

Googly eyed dolls are considered collectible and may be valuable.^[2]^[3]
