Dodds was located just off West 31 Street, with a manufacturing facility at 11 W 30 Street. It was precisely because of the location that such a strange marking “11 W 30 ST INC” appeared.
Many researchers have found that markings are found with different signatures, as well as many decorations were not signed.
Here are some markings –
- WEST 31 STREET
- 11 W 30 ST INC
- 30W ST INC
- W 30 ST INC
Sets of cats with a kitten were also produced. The kitten was much smaller than the cat and unmarked. The Dodds company also produced brooches – cat heads, reminiscent of Warner brooches.
Signs that the cat is really “Dodds” –
- all parts are glued;
- Dodds the cat also has a “V” shaped whisker and only two on each side;
- always only 4 stones on the collar (not 3.5 or 6).
In the salon “Lady Collier” a product of the Doddz brand “Dodds Suite” is presented. Your “Lady Necklace”.
Not all Dodds jewelry sets had rhinestones. Quite a few kits were with thermosetting plastic – lucite (Lucite).
The Cat set (cat) became the most popular and demanded. The base had pear-shaped ears, a large head stone, a large belly stone, and a collar that could be filled with four round stones or imitation pearls. Due to the popularity of this particular set, there have been endless variations of cat colors.
