Here is a doll from the 1960's made by Hasboro.
She was called Little Miss No-name and was not a great seller at the time.
She has arrived to be spruced up.
Someone, at some point, had decided she needed more eyeliner and applied DIY makeup.
She originally had a removable acrylic teardrop under her left, eye. You can see the hole that it was inserted into.
Her dress is not original but does suit her.
A good scrubbing and a new teardrop leaves her looking like this.
Your favorite childhood doll or toy has just been found stuffed away in a box in the basement? It is cracked and dirty and your family urges you to throw it out. But it is full of memories and despite its many flaws, you just cannot discard it. Doll doctors and restoration artists can help. Many of the saddest dolls and toys can be restored. I restore dolls from my home base in Ontario. Wintertime however, finds me packing up a few projects and fleeing to Florida to work in the sunshine!
