Another item my wife was given through her Great Aunts estate. We have no idea as to the name of this doll, its value or how to display or store it. Help!
Here are some particulars:
It all appears to be plastic. Her head moves side to side while her legs go back and forth. It is kind of neat.
She appears to be old...but not sure how old?
The third picture has a tag on her clothes that state Pedigree Made in England.
Someone told me to look at her back or the back of her head for some type of makers mark? I don't see anything there.
Anyone??? Help.
Hard Plastic DollsHard-plastic dolls were first introduced in the late '40s, when new plastic…
I can say that the dress is not her's it doesn't fit her . I suspect she borrowed from another doll . She looks like a Canada doll from 50's . You need to photo her without clothes to see body typw and construction and Pedigree Made in England were exported to canada not USA as dolls . In todays market her value is low and I would be happy to know she is a 1950's doll called a walking doll and she maybe a pedigree doll just in anothers dress :-)
Thank you Manikin! I will try to post an additional picture without the dress. I just don't want to rip, tear or otherwise damage the clothing. I've got big sausage fingers so I'll probably ask my wife to do it.
I'll post the additional pictures asap.
As a side note. The clothing seems to fit her very well. She has the full dress, a top undergarment, a bottom undergarment and a bottom...well...I'm not sure what the red and white checker thing is called and shoes. But I will defer to experts. Thats why I'm here. :) Thank you.
