Every once in a while my best friend puts together a fun box that she ships to me. I never know what will be inside. This past week I received such a box and I have gone through it layer by layer, taking my time, a little bit each day. She said I was treating it like an archaeological dig. That describes it perfectly. It has wonderful items, many of which I will share. The first is below.
Dolls of Many Lands greeting cards made by Tichnor Brothers of Boston were a gift to my friend from her grandparents when she was little. They are lovely and remind me a bit of the Hallmark cards that are so popular to collect. Over the next few posts I will feature the cards.
Sadly I cannot find any information about who illustrated these cards.

Is it just me or does the Eskimo doll look like singer Keely Smith?

ReplyDeletedo you know the name and manufacture
Sorry, I don't. I'd recommend contacting one of the many paper doll bloggers. They'd be of more help I'm sure.
DeleteThank you, but no. They were made by the Tichnor Brothers out of Boston.
