Margaret O'Brien   by Madame Alexander ~ maker of many Celebrity Dolls of the Classic Era. Composition (pre-plastic) Dolls. Valuable today as they succumbed easily to washing of faces. Heat and cold conditions were also hard on their complexions. |

Birds Barbie, because...of course!  But who could have expected this?  Universal Monsters by Aurora from the early-mid '60s:  I had all those when I was 10 or so, but they were "models," you understand, not "dolls." What's the diff? Beats me. |

 I remember when I was young, weekly magazines used to have a certain celibrity as a paper dolls, they cut them out with a child-friendly scissor, and there were evening dresses, relaxing dresses, ball dresses and very old fashioned bath dresses. As much as I remember girls cutting those pics out and all the fancy dresses too, I can't honestley remember I've ever seen anyone actually play with them.
