Questions & Comments

I had one of these in the early 1960's, but she had to be returned to the store because they were recalled due to the fire hazard.

This was handmade. Not sold in a store. So no recall on it I guess:((

I'm a doll enthusiast as well! Amazing story! I've definitely got my eye on this little beauty!

Shes so cute! Ive never seen a saw dust doll before.Watching!

I think. Back in the olden days if you couldn't afford to buy a doll they would make them with left over fabric and fill it with saw dust to form the body. They are quite heavy!! She is in really good shape. We are a family of doll enthusiast :)). I just have way way too many. The fabric has held up good. No tears of holes. Thanks so much for watching!!

Does she have hair?
what is on her forehead?
how tall is she?

Sep 30th, 2015 at 12:03:39 PM PDT by

No hair. It looks like a glue residue. I was afraid to try to clean it off. But it looks like it will rub off. I will measure her when I get home. Guessing around 20 inches long

Very interesting piece. I've never heard of a doll like this. I think she looks fine. Thanks for sharing.

What year would you guess her at ? It looks like she is in pretty good shape?

My grandma passed away in 1978. I inherited her then. Other than that I don't know how long she had it. She kept all her dolls in excellent condition. Thanks so much for watching

as purplepinkpansy said above....I too had one of these in the sixties. I am now 53 but can still remember like it was yesterday my mother taking this doll to the fire station to have it destroyed.

How sad for a little girl. To have to give up her doll

Oct 16th, 2015 at 2:31:38 AM PDT by

My great grand mother gave me one just like her with blond hair, witch was horse hair. I was told at the time that she made it. Maybe it was a kit ? I am 57. Lol

Oct 17th, 2015 at 8:34:52 PM PDT by

Maybe ?! Thanks for looking

Oct 18th, 2015 at 5:19:58 AM PDT by

I had a doll like this given to me when I was in the 3rd grade by a friend of mines mother, my friend had 2 of them. They had come from Germany or England, the girls mother was from England, but it looked almost identical to this one only mine had blond hair I think made out of yarn. I don't know what ever happened to her. I wasn't allowed to play with her, she hanged on my wall in my bedroom. This is a wonderful doll.
