Tyler Wentworth

Tyler Wentworth was a 16" fashion doll created by Robert Tonner produced by the Tonner Doll Company, Inc. for adult collectors. Tyler Wentworth dolls were constructed of vinyl and hard plastic and had rooted hair or wigs. The Tonner Doll Company produced an extensive selection of ensembles and boutique pieces for the Tyler Wentworth doll made from the finest silks, French lace, chiffon, wool and scale knits. The Tonner Doll Company strongly encouraged adult collectors to play with their dolls.
