Doll Gallery: Vinyl

We call this beautiful hard vinyl doll Tamara. She has no marks of any kind, but is almost certainly English. She has moulded hair, and large blue sleep eyes. Her limbs are nicely moulded and very sturdy, and she is 23" tall. Tamara is dressed in a turquoise blue knitted outfit, consisting of dress, coat, pants and bonnet. The bonnet is tied with a wide blue ribbon, she has fancy buttons on her coat, and she wears white socks and pink satin shoes.

Gemma is a 20" toddler, made by Tebro in the late 1980's. She has a soft, foam body, and is a nice, cuddly doll. She has masses of auburn curls which tumble around her face, and big blue eyes. Gemma wears blue dungarees over a white shirt and blue socks.

Joan is a gorgeous Chiltern Babykins, made by the firm of H G Stone in the early 1960's. Babykins came in two sizes - Joan is 19" - and are sturdy, well-made dolls. The moulding of their hands and feet are very realistic, and the face has a babyish kind of 'squashed' appearance. They can even suck their thumbs. Joan is wearing a pink knitted dress, with matching pants and pink shoes. Her short hair is a glossy dark blonde.
