Definition: The first plastic used to make dolls; highly flammable and usually quite thin. Used for dollmaking from approximately the 1920s to the 1940s (generally until Hard Plastic dolls were introduced) although earlier and later examples are known.
Many celluloid dolls were made in Germany and also in Japan (Nippon).
Examples:
My celluloid carnival kewpie doll has a dent in her nose.
