    Hi

    My grandfather was in India around the early 1920s, so I presume he got these dolls there. Sadly, their clothing is not in great condition. Would it be worthwhile for me to get it repaired? If so, does anyone know where I would start?

    They are lovely dolls. They've been sitting in a drawer for thirty years, wrapped in tissue paper, so the damage was done before they came to me.

      Vintage India cloth souvenir dolls, They are not valuable unless it is sentimental reason to restore .

      Hi Manikin

      Apologies for taking so long to thank you. I didn't see your response.

      Thank you so much for letting me know this. They have sentimental value, but I also find it funny that my grandad bought tourist dolls.

      Thank you!
