In 1951 Vogue advertised the name "Ginny" for the 8" doll for the first time. Ginny was named after Virginia, the daughter of company founder Mrs. Jennie Graves. The 1951 price list describes Ginny #80 Wavette with hair (new Nutex material) that could be washed, combed and curled. The Wavette doll was dressed in a gingham dress with eyelet trim. The gingham came in different colors (red, yellow, blue and green). She also came with a natural straw hat, an acetate case containing a cape and curlers, matching bloomers and center snap shoes. The very high quality (fever cheeks, brown lashes and brows) of the dolls produced during the early 1950's make them some of the most desirable today.
