Rexard Doll


Here's a rexard doll who sadly has lost a leg, but I like her face so am keeping her, I think she's probably from the seventies, and does still have her label, you just can't see it in this photo. Posted by Hello

Thanks for looking, more to come.

I will add pictures of my other dolls as I take them, and show you pictures of the dolls I've had restored. I'm also planning to start restoring old Sindy Dolls, I'll post pictures of those too.

50's/60's walking doll (possibly Shirley Temple)


And here's another old doll I'm getting restored asap, she walks when you move her head, and is supposed to be a Shirly Temple Doll, though I'm sceptical, as she doesn't have any dimples, which all Shirley Temple Dolls do. With a new curly wig and a few other repairs she'll be great, some idiots filled her head with plaster as a way of repairing the walking mechanism (two metal rods run from the legs up the hollow composition body and have to be attached in the head so the legs move when the heads turns) but there has to be a better way to do it than that.
