dollsahoy, I need your expertise. I got these from my aunt, and I’m not sure who they all are. I know the first is a Bubble-haired Midge, from about 1965ish? The large baby doll has a pull string and could be a Chatty Cathy? She’s Mattel 1967. The doll next to her looks like another Midge or maybe Skipper, and she’s marked Mattel 1966. The mini dolls are Topper and are from 1970. No markings on the two baby dolls in the middle. The last is a Kiddie Kologne doll, but no date.

Well, Instagram just answered two of them. The minis are Dawn Dolls, and the baby on the right in the center photo is Penny Brite!

The first doll is bubblecut Barbie (the bodies were marked Midge & Barbie, so a lot of people think it’s Midge.)  The doll in the stripe-top swim suit is a Francie.

I think Chatty Cathy is an enormous doll *checks*  Yeah, 20″ tall.  Maybe someone else can ID that doll?

The left gal in the center photo looks Hong Kong clone-ish to me–there seems to be plastic flash on the edges of her fingers.  oak23, any ideas?

The little fashion dolls are Dawn and friends.

Wow so I never post on tumblr but I had to help a fellow doll collector.  The mystery doll in the middle left is a Remco Heidi.  I think everyone else has been identified?

Way the hell behind on posting, but I really wanted to share these photos by AngelToast she made of my Dollmore Ipsae, Aurelea.  This doll means a lot to me; she was given in a startling act of kindness by a complete stranger (long story).  I have been wondering for eight months what direction I was going to go with her, and now she's finally coming together.  :)  Totally one of the most satisfying feelings ever!
