Its much treasured, and I have never seen another one like it before, I'd keep it!<br /><br />I've never been to an auction - perhaps I should put it on my 'bucket list'!<br /><br />LxLx @ Twelvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00381572298506010955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-80141895492534878212010-08-29T19:09:49.653+01:002010-08-29T19:09:49.653+01:00Great buys at the auction!

Our local small general auction closed a couple of years ago & I really miss it as I used to get some great stuff at good prices there.<br /><br />The monthly antiques auction house is the only one near me now & last week I was outbid on every lot! I left bids as it's a big auction & takes all day. There was a lot of vintage textile estimated at £20 - £30. I left a bid of £40 & it went for £440! What?! There was nothing in it to warrant that price!<br />There was also a Pedigree walker & small teddy bear - I left £45 & it went for £80 so your dolls were a good buy. All the other lots were the same - I really don't know who is paying such silly money for things.<br /><br />JayneCountry Cottage Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09183233483232008162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-73499243269011451882010-08-29T10:39:05.926+01:002010-08-29T10:39:05.926+01:00I was given black twin dollies by a neighbour when...I was given black twin dollies by a neighbour when I was little and very poorly with chickpox! How I loved them. Jee's comment re the elastic bands that hold on the limbs took me back. I used to think my dad could do ANYTHING because he could put their arms and legs on! Glad your giveaway has gotten more "takers"........ :O)))) Its been a lot of years since I have been to an auction, lucky you!!!menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-41686602836300282112010-08-29T08:27:32.225+01:002010-08-29T08:27:32.225+01:00What a blast from the past those dollies are.

Both were purchased in the 50's. Did you say they were worth something?Jakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01208269163297762265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-90506411460674566202010-08-28T23:28:04.826+01:002010-08-28T23:28:04.826+01:00I love your dolls and what a bargain.Enjoy the res...I love your dolls and what a bargain.Enjoy the rest of the bank holiday hugs PatThe sewing roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02333299279822320685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-25495328432464796282010-08-28T22:40:26.466+01:002010-08-28T22:40:26.466+01:00I had the black walking talking one when I was sma...I had the black walking talking one when I was small - her name was Mandy. I do remember her head had to be put back on on several occasions as the thick rubber bands inside would come off the hooks! I don't think I was very fond of her for that reason - but I wasn't really a doll girl.Jeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553005051612551946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-887212801753439722010-08-28T22:34:57.130+01:002010-08-28T22:34:57.130+01:00I love going to auctions, I love bidding on cheapo...I love going to auctions, I love bidding on cheapo boxes of junk with the excitement of going through it when I get home and finding a "treasure" in the bottom! xxCheap2Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260744488773991726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1240236643546071370.post-89311215959998920262010-08-28T22:00:48.377+01:002010-08-28T22:00:48.377+01:00Those two old ladies must have more money than sen...Those two old ladies must have more money than sense!

It must have been my Aunties or Sisters when they were younger. I must confess though, my dolly had a mouth and I used to feed her biscuits so when tipped upside down, she said Mama and rattled with biscuit crumbs :)<br />Twiggy xTwiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065849697979313992noreply@blogger.com
