Just watching The Burn Out and have noticed that Elizabeth's doll is exactly the same as the haunted Annabelle doll from the movie - now we know who caused the fire waltons.steve-p.org/pix/44A_00131100.jpg

It does look the same! But, a Raggety Ann doll was something that every girl had back then. Maybe the movie picked that doll because it was in almost every house and in every girl's bedroom.

Although many Raggedy Ann dolls were manufactured, this does appear to be the very same doll....
Do we know if it was a Warner Bros. movie? (not sure what movie you're talking about...)
Twinkle -- I love that you may have finally solved the mystery of The Burnout !!!

Twinkle -- I love that you may have finally solved the mystery of The Burnout !!! Look at the size of that doll next to the woman. That doll could have held Elizabeth in its lap instead of the other way around. We have discussed how much of the prop and the cast has been recycled, why not the doll?

That's why I said it appears to be the very same doll.....

I also thought the doll used in the five foot shelf by the book salesman and EliZabeth looked like a doll my grandmother used to have sitting in a chair

Back then, there were fewer dolls available.... When I was a child, dolls were not known by brand names, probably at least until "Toni" dolls came in (early 50's?).... options were a rag doll usually made by a grandmother, or a baby doll, a bride doll, or a non-specific doll like the ones at Ike's -- that was about it.... Even a bride doll offered up many possibilities, including doll clothes made by Mommy !! ... also -- hanging onto (not ruining) the original "costume" was very important !! ... and baby dolls were a "must" if a little girl were ever to learn about raising children !!
Prior to my "era" it was mostly china dolls.... and you were lucky if an ancestor handed her cherished china doll down, except that you couldn't really "play" with them -- they had to be kept nice for posterity !!

When I was a child I had a Barbie doll. However, my favorite dolls were the ones my grandpa made, using cloth and some stuffing, using a pen to make facial features. Wish I still had one of them!

I had a "Ken" doll ( Stop laughing!!) which was given to me by the girls and I used to rip its head off and fill the head with water and squirt the girls when they played with their barbies. I also used to rip its arms and legs off and use the limbs as my piece when we played monopoly....the girls didnt like that too much.
"Sure, you can be the hat and your sister can be the car or the horse. I'll be Ken"s arm."

Or, did they ?

I took the Barbie doll heads off my nieces barbies and my son and I used them for skeet.

Elizabeth "Auntie Em" My paternal grandmother was well known for her knitting... right up until she died at 93... Along with all the sweaters, socks, mittens, hats, baby blankets (and even swimsuits!), she made stuffed dolls for us -- quite intricate in their design.... different stitches used for the "built-in" dress, hat, socks, shoes.... the yarn hair was in braids.... and the face was stitched on with yarn, too.... She would make them to order -- we could choose the hair color, dress color, etc. -- I managed to hang on to the last one she made for me

Nah, I was the one tearing up MY OWN TOY for pleasure, so to be fair they should have torn their own baseball cards to get back at me. That actually makes sense in a bizarre way. I did have a whole bunch of 1969 baseball cards stolen, back in 1970. I know who did it, they never admitted. It wasn't those girls, no worries. Those girls were angels.

I packaged Violet up in bubble wrap, gave her to my uncle to take on the plane riding in his lap, to give to his sister. While she arrived safely, my mother put her on a shelf and somehow Violet has broken her leg. She was better off with me. Other than doll abuse, nothing has been done with Violet.
