Ginny Doll Box Appraisal

Vintage Vogue 'Ginny' Doll (1950) with Winter Accessories and Original Box

This is a vintage Vogue "Ginny" doll, identified as being from 1950, manufactured in Medford, MA. The doll has a vinyl or hard plastic body with molded features, including a cherubic face with painted eyes, rosy cheeks, and distinct red lips. Her skin tone appears to be a light, naturalistic peach or cream color. She has platinum blonde hair, which is styled with soft curls, but it is notably sparse, suggesting hair loss or thinning over time. The doll is currently dressed in a two-piece outfit consisting of a red long-sleeved jacket and blue 'harem' or 'pajama' style pants, indicative of a ski or winter play ensemble. Visible condition issues include a loose head in its socket, requiring repair for proper articulation, and the left leg needs joint repair, possibly indicating a detached or weakened limb connection. The doll stands barefoot, but accompanying accessories include a pair of small wooden skis and poles, along with a small black sled, suggesting a winter sports theme for this particular Ginny doll. Additionally, a light pink patterned dress is present inside a vintage "Vogue Dolls Inc." box, which likely served as the original packaging or a storage box for additional outfits. The box, while original, shows signs of wear consistent with its age, such as slight discoloration and edge wear. The overall craftsmanship of the doll and its accessories appears to be mass-produced vintage quality. The doll's simple construction and painted features are characteristic of dolls from the mid-20th century.
