Hard Plastic was the material of choice in the 50s. It has proven to be a very durable material replacing the more temperamental "composition" used in the prior decade.
One of the most popular dolls of the 50s was Vogue's Ginny, and she is just as popular today on the secondary market. Just the fact that so many web sites, bulletin boards, and books are popping up about her is proof. I think it is GREAT! One cannot have too many web sites, reference books, etc., on Ginny. Heck, ONE CANNOT HAVE TOO MANY GINNYs! Because of the variety in her design over the years, and the multitude of outfits, she is never boring.
Though Mint In Box are gorgeous, and usually very expensive, I think half the fun of collecting Ginny is locating an appropriate outfit for the era and hunting for all the accessories. With enough searching and patience, one can put together a very nice example of an excellent and adorable doll.
As an avid Ginny collector, I think that each Ginny era has a uniqueness of its own and it is my goal to have a representation of each phase of Ginny production. I'm not quite there yet. Click on any or all of the dolls below to view each type. I have grouped my "50s" Ginny dolls by the following categories:
