The Reliable Toy Company Limited of Toronto, Canada was founded in 1920 by Solomon Frank Samuels, later joined by his brothers Alex Samuels and Ben Samuels, had a long history of making quality doll products. In the beginning Reliable imported bisque doll heads from Germany, put it on a body made from a USA company and assembled these into their own dolls. From 1922 until 1955 they began producing their own dolls, first made of composition, later of hard plastic and vinyl.
