THE
LETITIA PENN
DOLL CLUB
OF
PHILADELPHIA

Letitia Penn
Letitia Penn was the daughter of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania. Letitia arrived in Philadelphia in December 1699 with her father and mother. It is for her that the doll club is named.

The doll pictured on the cover of this brochure belonged to Letitia. You will note that the doll had only one arm, the other being missing. The doll is currently the property of the Atwater-Kent Museum in Philadelphia.

Doll Club
In December 1938, a group of ladies voted to become Unit No. 9 of a group of clubs that eventually became the United Federation of Doll Clubs. The original purpose was to do something for the less fortunate such as distributing dolls and toys.

The purpose of the club continues substantially unchanged. Our by-laws state “This Club is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes pertaining to doll collecting.”
Affiliations
Letitia Penn Doll Club is affiliated with the United Federation of Doll Clubs, an organization of doll collectors in the United States and in many countries around the world.

The federation is divided into 16 regions. We are part of Region 13. Our region consists of doll clubs in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
