Bent Knee Walker Ginny Dolls

Vogue Ginny

Bent Knee Walkers
~*~*~*~
featuring dolls from 1957-1962

Because all Ginny's made between 1957-1962 were made with the same body style; hard plastic heads with glued on wigs, and hard plastic bodies with knees that were jointed, all the examples of these dolls will be posted on this page. This, despite the fact that they actually transcend both the 50s and 60s decades.

Two 1957 Outfits
#7060 and #7053

Now Ginny not only walks but she can bend her knees as well, giving her more poses and realistic positioning. These were two of the more stylish outfits. The platinum has brown eyes and the honey blonde on the right has very vivid blue eyes and the less common pink lips. Because this bent knee style was made from '57 through '62 there were slight variations in Ginny's look. I actually think that the blonde on the right with the pink lips was probably a later doll.

*Ginny outfit #7125 from 1957* A cute little sundress outfit for a Bent Knee Walker, cataloged in 1957. The black/white catalog photo shows her with a thin headband (not sure if black or brown). I chose this cute straw hat with a flower and brown ribbon trim. I actually found all of these pieces separately. Part of the fun of collecting. *~~~~**

Ginny outfit #1352 from 1960

A frilly little outfit for a Bent Knee Walker, cataloged in 1960, called Sugar and Spice. I originally got the outfit on a different doll and after going home to research it, found it should have matching lace trimmed long bloomers and satin slippers, not plain shoes and socks. I've always wondered what had become of the bloomers? If anyone has an extra set of them for this outfit please let me know. I'd love to make her complete.

Ginny outfit #18136 from 1962

A bright blue dotted cotton dress with an eyelet apron attached, with ornamental metal buttons on front bodice. The unusual thing about this particular Ginny is that she has freckles like the Wee Imp but her eyes are blue. I've never seen another like her. Her hair is pulled back into one ponytail (I added ribbon) which is a rare hairstyle for Ginny but I have seen it documented in reference books on this year doll.

~*~*~*~

I'm pretty sure the freckles weren't added but I sure wish I could find another so that I can document her better. The person I bought her from didn't know either and said that she received her this way. If any of you have a freckled doll with anything other than the green Wee Imp eyes, (regardless of hair color), please let me know!
