: Hi. She sounds like a strung Ginny doll, from the period between 1950 - 1953, before Vogue actually called all of those dolls Ginny (they named them after the names of their outfits then). However, you didn't give enough details. If from this period, she should be approximately 7.5 inches. What kind of eyes does she have? They should be sleep eyes (though they often don't readily open and close anymore) --earlier dolls had painted eyes. How about her hairstyle? Does she have a short, curly caracul wig that the flowers are stapled to --or some other style? What color are her eyebrows and lashes? (She's more valuable if they have not turned to yellow/green, as many of the pigments from that period have from light exposure).
: Hope this helps!
: : Hello,
: : I have come across a little doll and I must know who she is! I am a collector of dolls and my mother, knowing, this, has picked up a little girl from an estate sale. I believe she is a Ginny, but I am really not sure. Her arms and legs are strung and her back says "Vogue Doll." she has red hair with 2 faded light blue bows on each side of her head, two little matching light blue socks, and white shoes with silver buttons on them. She has no outfit with her. She has full red lips, painted eye lashes and brows, very rosy cheeks, and blue sleepy eyes.
: : So any idea who this girl is or when she was made? I have searched the internet and just find places telling me to buy books, well being a college student having jsut spent $500+ on books that isn't an option right now lol.
: : Any help is appreciated!
Oh and to add to my earlier response, she is 7.5 " tall. ^_^
