A Second Chance for Hugs Dolls

Here is the chance to give a home to a needy doll.
For one reason or another, they won't be able to make it on the "A" list but certainly could use some love just the same. Here are dolls that don't mind if you find them new clothes, or give them a new "do". Or maybe they just aren't part of the popular crowd. When they hear the word MINT they say, "Yes please, with milk." They have no idea that they aren't perfect. Or, maybe you have a child who would like to take care of them. Or, perhaps you don't want your kids (grandkids) to overly "love" your precious dolls. There might even be some real treasures in here.

Bottom line, these dolls just want to be loved again.

SC-I-VEL	Here is a cute Ideal 15" Velvet (Crissy's little cousin). Her body is in overall great shape, but it is pretty obvious that her base hair has been cut. Her long ponytail still grows and retracts but the hair itself is a bit frizzy. Still she would have a lot of potential if she were dressed in some mod 70s clothes.	$8.00
SC-G-STRGB	This is an early 50s strung Ginny, ready for you to re-wig and dress. Marked Vogue Doll on her back. She has brown eyes. Body is in pretty good condition but her painted eyebrows and lashes have turned yellow and her blush is faded (one cheek is stronger than the other). Lip paint is good. The residual hair stuck to the wig glue indicates that she was a blond. Her eyes open and close with help. String is a bit loose. Does not hold a pose well. I'm sure she would look darling with a little TLC and dressed in an appropriate outfit.	$30.00
SC-G-STRGW	This is another early 50s strung Ginny. She has a replacement wig that is very appropriate for her but needs styling. Her problems are that her eyebrows and lashes have turned that greenish-yellow, her lip paint is faded to very pale, and the overall coloring of her plastic is a bit ashen. There is really no blush to speak of. Her eyes no longer open/close but remain in an open position. She has been restrung with elastics so she can hold a pose pretty well. Her back is marked Vogue Doll and the back of her neck is etched VOGUE as many of the early ones are. I'm sure she would look darling with a little TLC and dressed in an appropriate outfit.	$40.00
SC-G-57BKW	This little girl needs a home. I had her in my regular sales section but now that I have this section I think she is more appropriately placed here. I've lowered her price to reflect her true bargain status. This little bent knee walker Vogue Ginny is wearing 1956 outfit from 1956 from the Gym Kids group #6029. She has a few issues but might be able to be a fixer upper or used as parts. Probably could use a replacement wig. Please click on her picture for a thorough description.	~SOLD~
SC-Z-CANRE	Here is a composition baby doll, approximately 12" tall, who needs lots of TLC. She is an early compo with the drink/wet feature. This was not common on composition dolls. She might be what was sold as WETUMS. The head and torso are one piece, with jointed arms and bent baby legs. The composition is heavily crazed and there are wear spots on her fingers and toes. There is lifting of paint and cracking around her mouth (probably due to the water from her bottle when fed) and in several spots you can see the composition underneath. She has cute little curls on the top of her head but her hair has been crudely repainted. She is marked RELIABLE/Made in Canada on the back of her neck. Might be a good project for someone.	$15.00
SC-AC-TRES	This is American Character's Tressy doll from the early 1960s. No hair growing key. Base hair may have been cut? Her prior mommy drew on a bathing suit with magic marker and I tried to get this off, but it seems it is permanent. So, I have given her this era appropriate dress and little blue purse. It looks very Barbie style but there are no tags inside. Unfortunately I didn't have any shoes to fit her. She is very fashionable despite her problems.	$15.00

Please Note: All items being sold are sold, AS IS and I have tried to give an accurate description of each item. I want you to be happy with your purchase so I invite you to ask questions before placing your order. One must assume that unless described as MINT IN BOX, most vintage items will show some signs of age or wear. It is never my intention to misrepresent an item. Though I do know a lot about different types of dolls, I do not profess to be an expert in all dolls. Therefore I may miss something in my description that is very important to you as a collector.

California residents will be charged 7.75% sales tax. International buyers MUST have a PayPal account and must use PayPal for their purchase. Because the postal systems of some of our international visitors aren't as reliable as the good old USA, I cannot be responsible for lost packages. International buyers must purchase at their own risk. USA purchasers are advised to purchase postal insurance on items over $50.00 but this is entirely optional and will be offered at time of payment details.
