Tammy Dolls by the Ideal Toy Corp.

The Ideal Toy Corporation began production of their teenage doll, Tammy, in 1962. Like the many other teenage fashion dolls of that time, Tammy had many outfits and accessories. The high quality outfits depicted the styles of the early 1960's . The 12" dolls had vinyl heads (rooted hair), legs and arms with plastic bodies. The dolls...

The 1962 Jill Doll by Vogue Doll Company

The Vogue Doll Company discontinued manufacturing their popular all hard plastic Jill doll in 1960 (see article in category 1950's). Because the doll company subsequently received so much criticism, they decided to create an "All New Jill" teenage doll in 1962. She was an all vinyl doll with rooted hair and sleep eyes with molded lashes...

Singer Featherweight 221 Sewing Machines

I must admit that besides my passion for dolls, I absolutely love vintage Singer Featherweight sewing machines. I bought one about ten years ago and now find it very hard to pass one up if the price is reasonable. Consequently, I am finding it difficult to store them all in my sewing room. They are a wonderful simple sewing machine that...

The Disappearing Antique Shops

What is happening to our local antique shops? Yesterday my husband and I went out antiquing to an area which is about 40 minutes from our home. In the past we have visited the shops in this area at least once a month even during our long winters. Ten plus years ago, there were at least seven shops (mostly large group shops) along a road that...

Raggedy Ann's Friend Camel with the Wrinkled Knees

Another highly sought after Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy collectible is the Camel With The Wrinkled Knees. Georgene Novelties had a version that resembled the actual character in the early story books. The camel was brown with a colored blanket. Knickerbocker's version (1960-1970's) was light blue polyester fabric with a red felt harness. In...

Beloved Belindy

Anyone who is a lover and collector of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy stories and dolls is very aware of their very lovable and chubby mammy, Beloved Belindy. The wonderful children's books written by Johnny Gruelle (1880-1938) from 1918 to the 1940's feature Belindy in many episodes. The actual 18-19" cloth doll was first manufactured by...

My Experience with Ebay, the Online Auction Giant

I joined the eBay online auction community in January 1997. I actually discovered eBay one night in October 1996 as I was surfing on my brand new personal computer. At the time I was part owner of a small antique group shop (specializing in dolls, teddy bears and vintage toys) that was struggling to stay afloat with a huge overhead. Ebay...

1964 Ginnette Doll by Vogue Doll Company

In a previous article, I discussed a very rare 1960's Black Ginnette doll. This article shows the more common white version of the same doll manufactured by the Vogue Doll Co. in the mid 1960's. She was redesigned from the 1950's doll. Her size was the same, but her sleep eyes looked a bit larger (her head may be somewhat smaller) and her...
