Doll Friends 2013

Is this doll Madeline?  She is 18 cm high and can move her head right around, jointed rubber like arms, jointed at the top of legs and jointed above the knees and lower legs move to the sides.  There is no identification on the doll.  The dress has a side tag, which says Early Learning Centre, made in China.

This hard plastic doll was probably produced in the 1960’s. It is a drink and wet doll. It has open/close eyes and has movable arms and legs.  It is made in Hong Kong and is wearing a 2 ply knitted outfit.  The dummy is a added and does not fit in its mouth.  It is 17 cm in height.

I made this porcelain French Millette doll, Mora, in 1986.  Ann Collins was the tutor. She is 28 cm long. I intended to dress her in blue velvet but the velvet material I have is too thick to sew a dress  so she has remained in her underwear which I made.

This doll is 18cm high and on her back is an image of an oil lamp with a flame, symbol of quality, No 7013. She is made in Hong Kong. I don’t know what country she is representing or how many dolls were made in the set or what year they were produced.

These two dolls are made from hard plastic and are have a moulded ponytail with a hole that you can thread a ribbon through.  The one on the left has on its back LINCOLN made in New Zealand and was for sale in a cellophane bag undressed and was known as a Susan doll.  The doll on the right has no identification mark on it.  It is made in a shiny plastic but otherwise it is the same as the doll on the left.

This Matilda doll is wearing a dress with a plastic base that when it is taken off it is a drawstring bag. Matilda has another dress on underneath. Matilda was for sale in the 1980’s.
