Elderly doll immigrants from France, then Ellis Island to the United States. This photo was taken of Grandma and Grandpa Dole on Ellis Island just moments after they arrived in this country. They dressed as they were dressed in France. Grandmother wears a white bonnet, black satin waist, checkered skirt, black silk apron, and black silk gloves. Her shoulder shawl is of black lace. The only jewelry she wears is a heavy gold chain. Each of these old men wears wooden shoes. Grandpa wears a red stocking, gray pants, a blue velvet dress, a blue handkerchief and a black hat.

It is made from configuration. Her braids are interconnected holes in her head. Her checkered blouse was most likely green or red. This tiny three-braided doll is Topsy. Almost everyone thinks that Topsy is the cutest doll they have ever seen. She didn’t look so happy when this picture was taken. Perhaps she was afraid her dog, Spot, would take a bite of her bread.

Peggy dressed up for a winter adventure has already had an accident.  This is Peggy. She is crying real tears. But no wonder she cries. She was riding when her sled hit a bump and bounced into the snow unnoticed. Sue, the girl who was painting the sleigh, didn’t see what had happened until she got home and then it was too dark to return. Soon Peggy was icy cold. Fortunately a friend came and saved her.

I gave this doll to a friend named James for his fifth birthday. James had a lot of fun with him from the start. The two often went together.

Lately he has been posing as Freddy and filming him.

Barbara wears comfortable slip-ons. She looks like a little red bird in a red jumpsuit, gloves and a red hat. Really, though, you should be wearing over-the-knee boots instead of rubber ones. The cute dog with her is Rin Tin. Named after the movie’s dog.

Pat loves to play with her dog in the snow! Pat for short! Patricia for a long time! This is the name of this doll. She was given the name because it is an Irish name and she has Irish blue eyes and brown hair like many Irish children. The phrase “When Irish Eyes Smile” sounds as if it was written about her. Despite all this, Pat is from Germany. Pat has a snowsuit, hat, mittens, and latex just like Barbara.

Bobby doll name with his furry friend. Bobby is a great fellow. So handsome. He has blue, blue eyes and blonde hair It does not go out of order. He is painted on his head. He didn’t get his cheeks flushed from drinking milk. His skin came out of a paint can. And his skin is like a satin.
