Ginny
Produced by the Vogue doll company, and created by Jennie Adler Graves, this popular little hard-plastic doll was named after its creator's daughter, Virginia. She is manufactured to this day by Vogue (and the modern versions have a nostalgic, "retro" kind of quality).
She came with many different shades of hair, which is an early example of modern nylon hair. She most often is found with golden curls.
Her dresses are, again, flouncy and circular, as small girls' dresses were still then; she came with many outfits to create a wardrobe.
My own aunt had one of these, now belonging to my sister; she is in her original box with an original yellow dress complete with black velvet sash and faux yellow rose.The box is very full, however, of my aunt's very own childhood attempts at doll-clothes sewing!
This little '50's sweetheart is highly collectible, with original editions selling for well over $100. Even the most modern versions are avidly collected, promising to accrue value in the future.
