SILKY
Thought
by many to be a Tressy sister but this is not the case. Silky was a grow
hair doll, about the same size as Toots but she has little 'boobs'. She
has a built in key in her back to rewind hair. Silky can easily be recognized
by her characteristic upturned palms. Most often found with blonde
hair, sometimes red, although I don't think I have ever seen a brunette.
She also had pose able legs. Both Silky dolls are wearing modern Barbie clothes.

PIPPA |
|
 |
Another very
very popular doll
from the Palitoy stable was 'Pippa'
Being a much smaller doll than Tressy, she was jointed, had eyelashes
& long silky hair.
These dolls although not rare are very collectable
& were released in the 1970's.
All Pippa dolls & clothes hold a good price & bidding in on-line
auctions can be fierce - but friendly!
Shown here are my own dolls Marie & Pippa

I'm sorry some of these pictures are not better quality. Many have been sent to me
& some are poor quality scans.
However you should be able to identify items & dolls.

From the collection Erick Esch -
Sheena with Brown & Blue eyes.
Thumbnail as always - click for larger image |
|
These eyes do not appear
to have been replaced - I have never seen Sheena with Brown eyes
We must remember that some dolls may have been made specially for Toy Fairs
& Exhibitions.
Also there are always dolls found that were completed with whatever they had
available at the time! Affectionately known as 'Friday afternoon dolls' -
often much sought after by people like me!
My thanks to Erick for his help & information. Sheena's necklace shown here
is a reproduction. |

1971 Goldilocks
This lovely boxed goldilocks
was purchased on eBay recently for £13 !She was very grubby, having
been left un-played with in a loft for 35 years!
You will notice this box has 'Bradgate' on it. This was a division
of the Palitoy group. The Comb/brush is all that is missing from the
box. The box would have had a cellophane window over it originally.
As you can see she has scrubbed up well - and all she needs now is
some socks. Shoes are original for this version. The pictures
further down the page show a slightly earlier version of Goldilocks. |

Goldilocks was a sweet
little girl / baby of 14" she had the Palitoy grow hair feature &
was released in 1969.
I think she is simply lovely & was thrilled when
I found this one in excellent condition recently.
|
This is my own
Goldilocks, this one has very pale blonde hair.
She is wearing a vintage Faerie Glen dress & shoes from Gracie's
Doll Supplies.
These pictures are thumbnails but are not the greatest quality - however,
as always you should be able to identify these outfits & dolls.
She was
described as - Packaged complete with her hairstyling booklet & brush
& comb in a 'keep clean' window box for shelf display.
She had a range of trendy outfits that would also fit other Palitoy size
14 girl dolls, including Tiny Talks, Gay Gadabout & 14" walking
dolls.
Like Tressy she had many outfits, these pictures also show some
hairstyling possibilities. See bottom of page for Goldilocks booklet!
