Antique Questions Forum / Toys Toys Toys! Please help, I have no idea!!!
« on: July 01, 2012, 04:29:35 am »
Hey guys!
Firstly I'd like to say 'hello!' from Sydney Australia as I'm a newbie to this forum. I'm sure all of you are a lovely bunch!
Secondly, I'm stuck in a bit of a rutt. My grandmother passed away at the ripe old age of 95 (RIP
, bless her heart) and has left me with a few possessions that have been in her possession ever since I can remember.
Now, I must warn you. There's a fair few, but I have buckley's of knowing what these are and what they're worth, so here I go!
1. Set of '3' felt-like dogs.
About 12cm tall.
2. Not sure if a set, but 3 Porceline dolls with cloth-like bodies.
Tallest is about 35cm tall.
I though they had a 'french' design about them, but I know they're at LEAST 35 - 40 years old.
3. Plastic Female Doll (Green knitted clothing was knitted by my grandmother)
About 20 - 25cm tall
On the back has the brand 'Evergreen - Made in Hong Kong'
4. Set of 4 Dolls
Believed to be 'Sindy' dolls? But not 100% on this.
Heads and arms have softer plastic that can be moved, but torso and legs have hard plastic.
Appear to have 'retro/old' clothes, and their hair looks like 1950's?
On the back is printed 'Made in Hong Kong'
5. Little 'Blonde' Doll
About 15cm tall
Hard plastic all over with moveable arms.
Clothes are the skirt you see, the red wellingtons (made of rubber) and the white hat.
On the back is printed 'Made in Japan'
6. Large Female Doll (Possibly IDEAL doll)
Stands at about 70cm Tall
Appears to have real, human hair (this does NOT feel synthetic)
Clothes appear quite old.
On the back is printed 'Made in Hong Kong'
Not sure if the legs match the rest of the doll (a slightly dark pigment of skin) however not sure if this was the norm for dolls of this era.
Possibly an 'IDEAL' brand doll as the pram it came with was also of the 'Ideal' Brand. - I do not know much about Ideal.
Has a 'sleep' mechanism - Will close eyes when it lies down.
Head and arms are of a 'softer' plastic and the torso and legs are of a harder plastic.
Eyes are an usually striking blue, and the features on the face have been beautifully painted on.
Fits perfectly in the pram it came with.
Has a voice box at the back, although I have no idea if it works or not?
6.1 Doll 'Pram' (IDEAL Brand)
Made of metal with a waterproof-type material for the fabric parts.
Has a canopy that can fold back.
Has the 'Ideal' sticker with an 'Australian made' sticker
Matches the large 70cm doll perfectly in size.
6.2 Doll 'Bassinet' (Possibly IDEAL?)
Came with the 70cm doll and pram and fits the doll perfectly.
Appears to be made of cane (white) with a wooden board as the base.
Note: Blanket was not originally included.
7. Yellow Dog on Wheels (VERY old)
Possibly a 'chiltern' toy however not 100% sure.
Has unusual 'stuffing'
The 'walker' is red steel, however there is no brand on either dog or walker.
8. Pink Panther 'beanie' doll
Has original tag on it.
Has unusual plastic (almost porceline) for hands and face
Has a tag saying '1984' and 'by United Artists - Rass Beanie and Co Australia)
9. Small Female Doll
About 15cm tall
Has a button at the back with a 'head cocking' action. Jars head to the side when pushed.
On back of the body says 'made in Hong Kong'
10. A few various stuffed toys. Not much to tell really!
11. ALSO - A black 'poodle' toy made out of a felt-type of material.
Has an unusual body position as it looks like it was made to be lying down, half-curled up.
Has a music box inside, and the handle is sticking out of the back.
Very unusual, looks very old.
PHOTO coming!
Anyhow guys, I hope you can help me out I'm just so curious to see what this stuff is, and even how much it's worth!
Thank you!!!
