#19







Maker: Madame Alexander

This doll was from her childhood. She received it around 1960. Not the original wig, because the original wig was cut by her mother to make a Mary, Joseph & Jesus set.

The best part about the Christmas she received this doll, was when she received it, her mother had also handmade a full wardrobe for her. The Antique robe was a gift from her Grandmother Babbitt.

The canister set is from Germany. The gravy boat from Czechoslovakia. The cream & sugar set is vintage. The blue & white ceramics are from London.

The girl with the green sash.
Maker: Mori Mura Brothers, worth about $50

The doll is in mint condition, original wig, but not original clothes. During the 1940's Japan would make dolls because the German market couldn't because of the War.

Patty saw this doll in a Tucson store, and wasn't sure since it was marked from Japan. When she returned home, she did research and found out about how Japan made dolls during the war, and realized she wanted it. When she went back to Tucson, it wasn't there. On her next birthday she was surprised with it by her husband, who had snuck back to Tucson to buy it for her!
