Title: [ID: Generic Dolls House Doll] Can you ID this Grandma Doll?
Post by: vintagequeen16 on Thursday 26 January 2012, 02:23 am

I have this grandma doll that I cannot ID.  I'm thinking she's from the 70's or 80's based upon the age of the children of the woman who gave it to me. Her head is one kind of plastic, and her torso and hands are another.  Her shoes are connected to her legs, which are some kind of fabric, as well as her arms. Her dress is not sewn at the back, but glued. She has no manufacture markings.

Is she bendy?

Maybe she is for a homemade dollhouse.  You can get a dollhouse kit at a craft store and then you get to buy all the cool little stuf and families for your house.

She is not bendy.

And that's what I am thinking- that she's a homemade doll.

From the 1988 Sears Wishbook:

Any chance it's anything to do with this?

DEFINITELY some sort of craft-store dollhouse grandmother.

FOUND HER.  Or at the very least. something very similar.  She has the same body, face, and similar dress.  There is a website that has full scans of every page of vintage Christmas catalogues.  It's in the 1988 Sears Wishbook on page 393.
