Can anyone ID My Mum's Doll for her please?

Originally posted to Dolls More Dolls on Multiply - Jul 3, '09 2:11 PM


 This little one was given to Mum in the 1940's she's made by Pedigree and has ball joints, molded hair, original face paint and a voice box and excellent detailing on her hands and toes, her little fingernails are so cute....She also has most of her original (mohair?) eyelashes intact!

When tipped forward for winding etc and then back again she says "Mama Mama" although this is now a bit tempermental...

Mum was so proud when I said I'd take some pic's to show everyone on here and maybe get some additional info' as she doesn't really know much about her being so small when she had her.

I was promised her when I was old enough to take care of her but it seems at 34 I'm still not old enough hahahahaha

And yay I was actually allowed to touch her yesterday wow how about that? 34 years of just looking until yesterday, and only then because I promised to take photos, I was watched very carefully the whole time too!!

She has been lovingly looked after all these years and now sits in her new outfit by the side of My Parents bed!

Any info on her and her value etc would be most appreciated ...Thanks Everyone...*Grin* Herbs x







Voice Box and Pedigree Logo.

Original Panties!

I have quite a few of these hard plastic Pedigree dolls, Herbs. They date from the late 40s/early 50s and I've just looked in my valuing old dolls book and a very similar example in there is valued at approx £80 - £90 in good condition. She is a beautiful one.

Repro Sunsuit Pattern for 14 inch Vintage Pedigree African Baby Doll Sun Suit Pattern


*** Post Originally by Evelyn on Dolls More Dolls on Multiply ***

I think it's worth a re-post as it may be of use to someone out there in the bloggersphere?!

Evelyn:  "I've loads of patterns in my old British Doll Collectors News from the 90's, written by Collette Mansell. A lovely lady in Ireland has been sending me them a few at a time, they are great. This one is a reproduction of the Sun-suit worn by a black 14'' Pedigree ."







I don't have any of these dolls myself, but I thought perhaps somebody out there in Blogspace could use a pattern for one, if you do make an outfit from it,

Please let me know how you got on so I can add it to this post as I'm sure it'll be of help to others who wish to use this pattern - Thanks!
