Kathy’s 18″ Duck House doll by American DollHouses
Duck House Doll
This was my first 18″ doll over thirty years ago (…I said over… if you want exact numbers, well your out of luck… my lips are sealed). It is an Effanbee doll marked 1965 (no, I am not that old!!) It was given as a Christmas present from my parents when a was kid. She is dressed in her original dress including her stockings and slippers. I gave this doll to Caitlin a year ago and she takes very good care of it. She does play with her and she has a home in the four room American DollHouses doll house. If truth be told Caitlin has used the doll more than I did as a child. I preferred Hot Wheel cars and Barbie dolls…yeah, strange child, I know.
Mom opinion: Well what can I say …she’s beautiful but that veil use to drive me nuts as a kid trying to keep hair from getting mussed up! No mussy hair with Hot Wheels (the ones with the red wheels – don’t know what that means… go ask a Daddy).
