I was asked for some travel dolls by someone recently. So I pulled out a box a couple of days ago that had some of the dolls I had left over from auction lots after I removed what I wanted,including a bunch of travel dolls. I have A LOT of stuff, leftover from auction lots, that I don't want. Looking through the box,something occurred to me, which I have thought of before: Would you readers be offended,or think it was taking advantage, for me to have a 'For Sale' page on the blog? I know a lot of bloggers have a sale page, or post links to their Etsy or Ebay listings. I have so much stuff I need to get rid of, and Ebay isn't what it used to be. It could be very good for everybody. I have too much stuff, and I have not only dolls, but tons of doll sized furniture,doll clothes and accessories of all eras. So what do you think? Sales page or no?
Today I thought we'd look at some of the dolls that were in the box with the travel dolls. First of all there's this kid.
This is the 70's version of Vogue's Ginny doll.
Bendable knees? I never noticed. |
She has sleep eyes. There were later Ginny dolls with painted eyes.
These three Ginnys from the box show the differences. The one in the middle has the painted eyes,and the other two have sleep eyes. |
The earlier Ginny dolls had round, chubby faces and chubby limbs.These later 70's Ginny dolls were proportioned more like real kids except for their big round heads.
These 70's Ginnys have a problem with their limbs,and sometimes their faces,discolouring. They become sort of blotchy orange and white. They can also have a tendency to pale out badly.These guys don't seem to suffer much from those problems,(They're a little pale and two of them have pale lip colour,but it could be way worse) ,but the blondes have very crispy hair.
Those are today's dolls. See you again tomorrow!
