Old German Doll
“This is an old German doll passed onto me as a Family Air-loom. My Great grandmother was given this doll as a little girl before the war; she holds a great deal of sentimentality. My Grandmother used to play with her being an only child, this was her special friend. I have had her restored and dressed too as close as possible to what she used to look like in a photo taken with my g. grandmother, 95years ago. This doll will now be passed onto further generations in my family and for one day- My Great grandchild.”
Manikin This was bought to us from a shop owner who owned this Manikin; it had been knocked over in his store and badly damaged… “Mobo” Movable Horse

Played with and much loved and restored back to what she was like originally, giving her a new lease of life…. I can now pass her onto my daughter.”
Old Polish Celluloid Doll
face="Times New Roman" “This doll was given to me as a little girl, when I came out from Poland. This is an old polish celluloid doll, she was dropped by my little grand-daughter…. which broke my heart. I took her to The Doll Hospital; they repaired her for me, which made my day. The repair was hardy noticeable, her make-up was also done, making her look a little brighter!”
