Plain-English answers
Learn about Douglas
- A short history of Douglas Douglas is usually said to have been founded in 1956. A 1968 history of Keene shows the toy business actually started in 1945 under a different owner, and was bought in 1956. Both things are true, and the difference matters.
- Collector terminology A short glossary of the words Douglas collectors actually use, with a note on which ones the company itself uses and which are community shorthand.
- Condition and tag condition Condition is two separate things for a Douglas: the animal, and its tags. Judge them separately, and be careful about cleaning — the company's own washing advice is written for a toy, not for a collection piece.
