This oversized barbie-doll in red crochet dress is 14" tall & has blinking eyes. Her head has a #10 and says Made In China, but there are no other markings on her.
Does anyone know more about this type of doll?
This is a 1960s or 1970s clone doll. I call them "Bargain Basement Barbies" - of course these aren't Barbies. :-)))) Millions were made back in the day.
I have 2 others that have ADMIRATION TOY 87 stamped on their heads and they are 15” tall.
87 is most likely the mold/model number. Can't tell you more than that without seeing them.
