Ken collects advertising things, which includes a few dolls and a load of stuffed toys.You may have seen my post on our KLM Airlines doll HERE. When I spotted this girl in the Connie sale,I thought of Ken.
I could tell she was an airline doll,but I didn't know which airline.
When I researched I found out that she's a British Airways 'Air Stewardess' doll.(That's what they were called back when this doll came out.)
That makes her even better for Ken's collection, since he's a Brit away from home. That's what gave me the idea to use Ken's hometown,Hull, as her background.

| This is the Humber Dock Basin,in Hull. |
She was made by Rexard.

| Queen Victoria Square,with the Hull City Hall and Maritime Museum. |

| Hull Marina. |

| Queen's Gardens,Hull. |
She should also have had a hat with a badge on the front.This one is missing hers.
Her clothes are all removable, except her tights and shoes,which are painted on.
I'm not sure what year she was made. I think it was about 1980, but look at that eye makeup.
I'm not sure that looks like 1980.

| And there's Queen Victoria. |
Her haircut looks more 70's. (She has short hair, but believe me,it has a mind of it's own.)
She's a small doll,even smaller than thew 9 inch KLM Airlines doll, standing only 7 1/2" tall.
That's it for today. Let's look at Hull again before we go.
Tomorrow we'll see another doll.
What a cutie doll. She is very stylish. Yeah, I don't know about the eye make up either.
ReplyDeleteDo you take Afternoon Tea? We have a local tearoom and I take tea at least once a month with friends. It's so elegant.
I've never been a big tea drinker, although in England I drank more of it. We don't have any teat rooms locally, although Emma has been to a couple in Columbus. When we were in England in 2015 one of the things Emma wanted to do was have high tea. She's the biggest tea drinker in the family, and that includes Ken.
DeleteFunny that she is so similar to the dolls that use the Daisy body.
ReplyDeleteI like them. They are cute.
Probably made by the same company. It' like those Mattel dolls like Family Corners that look exactly like shrunk down Barbie dolls.
DeleteShe's cute! My cousin would love this doll, she used to be a flight attendant with British Airways!
ReplyDeletex
Did they sell them then?
DeleteBeing an agoraphobic, I don't fly much. But I would love it if they did still sell those dolls. I could always ask Mom to bring me one. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to get out more. Maybe you could attend a doll show, and that would occupy your mind instead of the fact that you were away from home.
DeleteHi, I have a doll exactly the same only wearing a brown outfit with shirt and scarf. Does shel have a name ? Or belong to a different airline ? She also has the silver design on her jacket. Can anyone help ? Is she worth anything??
ReplyDeleteProbably another airline. They all had their own. You could Google airline dolls until you find the right one. Here's a site that might help you: https://dollsallover.webs.com/daisyairlinedolls.htm
DeleteOh, as for value, they have value to someone who collects airline dolls, advertising dolls, the Mary Quant Daisy doll, or dolls of the era. Value varies. You'd have to identify your doll and see what she has sold for in the recent past.
