My maternal grandmother had one too, As a child and young woman, I couldn't keep my eyes off of it, no touching! I don't know which of her 3 daughters got it upon her death, my mother didn't. The other 2 daughters had boys, I doubt that doll had a happy ending, unless some special person bought her at a garage sale, hope so.
Exquisite. I love them. I don't have any of my own but my late mother owned one. It is still in her cabinet in her house. My father will be 90 yrs old soon!
Glad to hear that you like Half-Dolls also, they are my favorite. I have quite a few but they have no skirts. I bought my first one, at the age of twenty-five, at a little antique shop that wasn't more than 10 ft across, it had probably been in that Kansas town since the beginning. I paid $5.00 for it. It had a nice skirt, I took it apart to use it as a pattern, now it doesn't a skirt either.
I have hesitated in posting Half-Dolls,but since I now know there is another jigidi member who loves them too, I will post at least one a week. as I have made many jigsaw puzzles. Thanks for your comment.
P.S. Are you doing okay, healthwise? I ask as your sentences in your comment are rather disjointed. My eyesight is so poor these days that I have to really be careful of the way my comments end up. Thank goodness it is so easy to copy/paste them over into a new comment and make a correction, and remember to quickly delete the one I errored in. Hope you are doing fine.
I posted this, read it over, and sure enough, I had three words at the end of this comment, that I do not have a clue as to their meaning, so they are deleted.
Oh~ so pretty. Half dolls 40+ years ago were the start of my doll collecting. Them came the china's then the bisque. Still love the half dolls. Thanks for the memories.
