Vogue manufactured some of the best Ginny dolls during 1952-1953. These dolls were referred to as "strung" because an elastic band fastened the head to the legs and a separate one held the arms. Earlier dolls were also strung but the dolls produced during this period were very pretty with high color ("fever") cheeks and nicely defined brown painted lashes and brows. The outfits were outstanding in quality as well as variety. There were several different series: 1952-Kindergarten, Debutante, Tiny Miss, Sports, Frolicking Fables, Bridal, 1953-Kindergarten Afternoon, Kindergarten School, Twin, Gadabout, Fable and Bride, Debutante and Talon Zipper. It has been a lot of fun for me to find all the outfits that I once had. Sometimes just finding part of an outfit was very satisfying! Pictured are a few on my favorites. The Ginny dressed in #70 blue denim jeans plays with her Steiff Pup, a 1954 accessory. Unfortunately, my 1953 blonde side part/flip Ginny is long gone. I still have her sister...a 1954 PLW red bangs/flip who has definitely seen better days!
