early 1980s Polly Flinders Paper Doll Coloring Book promotional item For Sale

This is a Polly Flinders Paper Doll Coloring Book, a promotional item from the children’s clothing brand rather than a regular bookstore title.PublisherPolly Flinders (Baylis Brothers Co. / later U.S. Industries), 224 East 8th Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 — the same address printed on the doll card. The brand was known for hand-smocked little girls’ dresses from the late 1940s through the 1970s and into the 1980s.
There is no standard copyright page or ISBN, which is typical for clothing-company premiums. The art style, diary format, numbered clothing tabs, and the fact that the brand was still using that Cincinnati address point to the
