The dolls are meeting each other at my work desk.
Polka Dot was handmade in Poland, maybe in the fifties?
Articulated robot doll was made in China, like yesterday.

I assume these were all in one donation? One person's collection? Do you have any idea how old they are? 1950s? Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteActually, these are a dolls from different donations that I've been saving in a big tub for a year or so.
ReplyDeleteI've only started to learn about dolls, so I am no expert, but for sure the ones I've been posting photos of are from different eras, too--
some of the composite or bisque dolls might be a hundred years old.
Not sure about many of them, but you're right---lots are probably mid-century (1950s).
All of the dollies that you have posted should only be adopted by well vetted owners! They are dear!
ReplyDeleteThe girlettes here have been planning a get acquainted party, It's a house full! Delightful!
I love the costumes on them :)
ReplyDeleteI like the doll in the spotty dress and red shoes! Czech, Polish or Dutch?
ReplyDeleteLINDA SUE: I know! I want to carefully vet every person who buys one of the dollies.
ReplyDeleteI did put out a batch of them for 99-cents each... I will be curious to see if and which of them sells.
RIVER: I actually wanted to take some of their costumes, but on the cheaper dolls, like the soldiers, their clothes are glued on!
GZ: Isn't she great? I looked her up and she's from Poland.
I just realized that that anon post was mine! Hi! Didn't mean to submit anon!
