My favorite doll was Sparkle Plenty ( ****** Tracey character, her body was stuffed rubber and almost none now survive). Other favorites were Ginny and Toni bride doll.

@rms1954  Your doll is very cute. Google Little Miss NoName. That is the doll that my daughter would scare her younger brother with. He was afraid of it. She just had a sad face.

@patbz  My Bonnie Braids baby doll was also a ****Tracy character. She had two little blond braids sticking out of the top

of her head and two little baby teeth. She came with a tiny toothbrush and a small tube of Ipana toothpaste. That was 1950.

  I always wanted a bride doll and I got a nun doll instead. I think that my parents were trying to tell me something.LOL

Betsy McCall . The one in the pic  is circa 1956 .

Those American  Girl  Barbie's  in the striped swimsuit with the bendable knees   around 1964 sure were fun to play with.

@skatting44  That was the Betsy McCall doll that I had with the same coat and dress. The outfit included a little black beret.

I loved the Betsy McCall paper dolls that came in the McCall's

magazine. Betsy was one of the last dolls that I got. A couple of years later, I was no longer playing with dolls.

My absolute favorite was my Toni doll.  I still have my Toni doll but her head has fallen off.

My second favorite was a toddler-sized walking/talking doll.  

[My mother saved her favorite doll and wanted me to have it when she passed.  So, I have "Phyllis," who came with a small high chair.  I do not remember the names of my two favorite dolls, for some reason, but I remember Phyllis's name.  I think the reason is that I was struck by how odd a name choice I thought it was coming my mother.  In addition, I heard my mother's doll's name as an adult and not as a child.]

I loved playing with Barbie, Ken, & skipper, loved the mustang car and a Travel trailer set to take them everywhere.
Also played with paper dolls
