Doll News Spring 2021 - 95

Dorothy Heizer unknown source after move to Summit, N.J.
Coleman Collection.

During her lifetime she was appreciated for her
exquisite cloth figures. Today her creations are
viewed as artistic pinnacles of soft sculpture.
The entrepreneurial Dickinson would quickly
advertise making a name for herself as a dealer
in all facets of doll collecting, even down to
having doll stands stamped with her name.
But her notoriety was to extend far, far beyond
mere doll collectors. Making headlines across
the country she was uncovered by the FBI,
convicted of treason, imprisoned, but escaped
execution for being an American spy for the
Japanese during World War II. Her arrest came
on January 21, 1944, while she was working
with her bank safety deposit boxes which held
cash unreported to the IRS. The " doll " box held
more cash than the one for ill-gotten spy money.
We do not know when the ladies first made
contact, for how long they remained in contact
nor the depth of their business relationship.
Even whether Dickinson's information
passing letters used descriptions of Heizer
dolls as vehicles for passing spy information
related to naval maneuvers. But with recently
revealed ephemera and other related materials
about Dickinson at a time when the name
Heizer brings pulse-quickening admiration
it seems only appropriate to bring forward a
harmless scheme proposed by Dickinson and
implemented by Heizer.
