| | 1950's 9 & 10 Inch DollsMost 1950's Ginny-types are 7 1/2� to 8 or slightly over 8 inches tall. Most major companies also made a 9-inch and/or 10-inch model.�A & H Marcie Daily Dolly
A&H made (or at least sold) a 9-inch doll similar to the Virga 9-inch doll. |
I don't know if there ever really was such a doll. She looks much like the Fortune, PMA, and A&H 9-inch dolls | | made a doll that was was just like the Virga and Fortune dolls (Virga has C-hook, Fortune's has tube arm hook).

This doll is all vinyl. She did originate in the mid-to-late 1950's, but mainly was a doll of the 1960's. |

It's amazing how much difference an inch can make! The 9-inchers all have detailed feet and hands (no molded-on shoes!). Most of them are hip-pin walkers. The faces, in my opinion, tend not to be as cute as the smaller ones. The proportions are a little skewed - big eyes, tiny squished mouths, lumpy chins and cheeks.� Okay, that's just my personal opinion.� These are an important segment of the Ginny-type doll scene, and deserve their due. See also: BLOCK ANSWER DOLL 10-Inch Dolls: Next in the size scale above the 9-inch dolls, were, you guessed it, the 10-inch dolls, which included Nancy Ann Debbie, the Arranbee Littlest Angels, etc. Many of these were true Ginny-types, with their chubby toddler bodies.
