This little doll. She's about 8" tall, and she's what's known as a 'walker'. When her legs are moved back and forth in a walking motion her head turns from side to side. She works well.
I'm hoping somebody out there can help me with a positive identification on this girl. She looks like a Ginny, but is she a real Ginny, or one of the many Ginny wanna be dolls? Before you suggest it, I can't check the back of her head because the wig she's wearing is glued down too far to see the back of her head. (That's another question: Is this wig her original?)
No markings on her back either.
Pardon the nudity, but it's not gratuitous. I'm hoping someone can identify her by her body mold.
She has dark blue sleep eyes with hard, molded lashes.
She's wearing a tagged Vogue outfit, which is a Ginny outfit. Update: The outfit is a Ginny outfit from 1956, called Gym Kids. The hat is part of it. I was only missing the pink socks and black shoes.
The outfit has such a cute shirt...
...and a matching pair of what we used to call 'pedal pushers'.
The shoes are obviously modern.
I couldn't get the shoes off.There are molded shoes on her feet,so she's not a Ginny.
My favourite part of the outfit though is the hat! It's a cute little pink beanie with an elastic chin strap.
I got this doll at the same place where Emma and I made an awesome yard sale haul a few years ago. You may have read about it in one of my previous posts: HERE.
Although I do love the outfit on this doll,I'm not much into Ginny dolls. What I really liked was the other thing in the box with her:
This Barbie patio set is from 1998. I have found a chair and cushion before, but not the whole set. I'd never seen the table before.
There was also a light up garden arch.
Unfortunately the arch is a weird scale. It's way too big for 1/12 scale, and, at about 10 inches tall, not quite tall enough for 1/6 scale. If it weren't made with an attached base I could figure out a way to make it just that little bit taller. There was a Barbie sister Stacie bicycle too.
So while I'll probably be getting rid of the doll, I'm keeping the furniture.
What a great find on the patio furniture! People ask a lot of money for that set on evilbay. Sometimes I wish I'd bought it when it was still in store.
ReplyDeleteI know! I was really pleased. I figure selling the Ginny will pay for my furniture. I like to be able to do that. It makes me able to afford to collect.
DeleteHi there. I do not think you have a Ginny there. Ginny copies typically had molded shoes while Ginny has little feet.
ReplyDeleteThanks. That's what I was thinking. Do you know what doll she might be? Or where I could find out the name of the outfit?
DeleteThe only thing what I think I can tell: the shoes are from that bigger-sized Kelly doll, which was available at Amazon. They are too small for your doll, which is adorable! If I were you, I could not sell it :)
ReplyDeleteThe shoes could also be from more modern Ginny. I love the clothes, but I'm not grabbed by this particular doll. Sometimes it's not as hard to let something go.
