Meet a Member
I
'd like to introduce one member of our UFDC family who
began his doll collection as a child and became part of the doll
world as an adult. Don Wilson is a member of Charm City Dolling
Club in the Baltimore, Maryland area. He started collecting "Dolls
of Color" ever since he received his first doll, "Susie," from his
Nanny while growing up in Alabama in the 1940s. Susie, a handmade cloth doll of color, gained many friends as Don's collection
grew. His mother, a seamstress by trade, opened a sewing shop
where Don's jobs included making covered buttons. From this
experience he developed an appreciation of fabric, costuming and
cloth dolls.
This experience and Don's college education led him to the
decorative home divisions of retail department stores as a buyer
and then a road representative. In 1982 he was hired by Seymour
Mann Gifts and Tableware as Vice President of Sales and National
Sales Manager, responsible for Mann's nation-wide trade and
collectible shows. Seymour Mann introduced their affordable
commercial porcelain dolls at the 1982 New York Toy Fair
with their first doll artist signing by well-known doll artist and
UFDC member Pat Kolesar. Over the next twenty-five years Don
exhibited Seymour Mann dolls at trade shows across the nation.
At the Washington, DC Teddy Bear and Doll Classic, Don
met several members of the Charm City Dolling Club and was
asked to do a program. Later he and his wife Beverly, who
shares his love of black dolls, joined the club where they remain
members today. Most recently Don organized and chaired Charm
City Dolling Club's project to preserve the historic Sykesville
Colored School House in Maryland and hosted their first black
doll show event in June of 2013.
