Pictured here are some from my collection. Starting at the top left corner and going clockwise, ending with the kit in the center, they are:
Susan’s Crochet Doll Kit, G.A. Doherty Co., Buffalo 3, NY. (no zip code, so pre-1963, looks 1940’s-1950’s to me) contains DMC Cotton thread and plastic doll; hook no longer in my kit.
Vogart Crafts Christmas Crochet kit, NYC address. Dated after 1973 when Vogart Co. became Vogart Crafts Corp., but prior to 1981 when they relocated to Clifton, NJ. Illustrations on side looks mid-late 1970s “Crochet hook and Polyester stuffing included.”
