"Poor Pitiful Pearl" was made by Brookglad Toy Company, in the 1950's. The doll was based on a cartoon character created by William Steig. Marked on the back of her neck is Brookglad Creation. Poor Pitiful Pearl is wearing a faded blue and white polka dot dress with a red and white polka dot head scarf. She has no underpants, shoes or socks. Mom wouldn't let me get one. Years of therapy ensued.
