Submitted by Darlene Duplessis: “I found these gorgeous dolls from WWII years ago but know nothing about them. The ladies silk skirt is so old it has shredded. This is one of my favorite possessions.”Submitted by Sandra Albert: “Their mouths stay open and you can stick their thumbs in so I call them thumbsuckers. They have rubber heads and are about 12″ tall. I think they are Hansel and Gretel but there are no marks.”Submitted by Susan Milam: “Troll doll given to me by my grandfather before 1964.”Submitted by Elaine Derby-Sherman: “Had this doll for about 45 years. Her eyes open and close!”Submitted by Leslie ‘Tebben’ McLaughlin: “Does anyone recognize the style of this doll? Her clothes are sewn on, so I cannot find any marking on the neck or body.
