I found two of my old dolls from my childhood at my parents house recently. Mrs Beasley on the left and Pippi Long Stocking on the right.
Mrs Beasley was that doll that Buffy had on that 60s show Family Affair. Many girls back then had to have her. She had glasses and would talk when you pulled the string on her side.
Pippi Long Stocking was a character in a book. The book was made into a movie.
As you can tell these dolls were loved by me. I'm glad that they still are around .

Mrs. Beasley is probably worth something now. I'm glad you found them and have fond memories of them.

Yes, but I bet if I had never taken her out of the box, she would be worth more.

@LeaPea2417 I have managed to save one Barbie from the 60's and I have the Madame Alexander doll that my grandmother gave me long ago. I cherished that doll and kept her in the original box and never played with her, just showed her off!
