I got these in the mail today from E'bay. Washed the outfits and the dolls, They seemed pretty happy about that! The ones I had when I was little we hung on the wall. Yippes. These girls are not going to get hung on the wall.

I loved those dolls. I seems that I remember them being from different countries.
It's all good! |

I called them storybook dolls. I have some of mine in a box upstairs. I think many of them would represent different countries, and I played with mine all the time.....I remember standing them all along the sofa in our living room and I must have been about 7. Yours sure cleaned up nice!

Oh my goodness Nancy jo,
I recall collecting them, well dolls like them, I collected the Dolls of the Nations...clad in their countries National dress.
My then boyfriend and now hubby bought them for me at the Atlantic Richfield (now called ARCO) gas station back in the early 1970's. You had to buy a full tank of gas (at a whopping .57cents a gallon) and got them for around a dollar if I recall.
They came in little plastic domes for display. Oh how I wish I still had them....sold them eons ago in a yard sale. Bummer!
I also remember being able to buy 'naked' versions of these dolls at the local J.J.Newberries & Sprouse Ritz, 5 & Dime stores...then you could either sew dresses or crochet or knit dresses for them and lets not forget the ones that had dress made from thin light foam tissue....
ok, just tripped & stumbled down memory lane! hahaha!

I have just one left, safe in a closet but I think I might take her out and put her on a shelf

I have an old suitcase full of them. I just wish I had known to keep the boxes!

Grace,
I had the dolls from different nations too but mine were collected with labels off the Frito's bags! Unfortunately, they have been gone for many years.

| I have several of the dolls of the nations and have tried to find out about what they are worth as I would not mind parting with them. I don't have the boxes or original packaging. Janneane |
