What a beautiful doll! I have one from my childhood but she's only about 55 years old. This one kind of reminds me of mine tho mine is blond. This one is such a treasure.
As a doll collector, I am fascinated by yours. Unfortunately, none in my collection were owned by any of my ancestors. You are so fortunate to have one that belonged to a relation.
I'm a sucker for dolls and Mabel's is wonderful! She looks in like-new condition and her clothes look original. Lovely.
Thanks to all for your comments. Yes, those are the original clothes - in fact she's all original and in very good condition. I think she's lovely - I know she has a wonderful safe home with my sister in law, Jennifer!
