GINNY RULED!!!

Ginny started it all - and remained every other doll company's Standard of Excellence. 
(Well, with one exception: Madame Alexander!)

GINNY – was created by Mrs. Jennie Graves, founder of the Vogue Doll Company, and was made by VOGUE throughout the 1950's (later periods had various manufacturers). 

Here are some tips to identifying Ginny:

  • Always marked on back: 
    This is the most important point to remember: 

    1955 was the first year that Ginny dolls were marked with a patent number.

  • If it doesn't say "Vogue" or "Ginny" on the back it's NOT a Ginny!

See Ginny History pages for exact mark for each date

  • Ginny-type arm hook
  • detailed feet/toes
  • mold joint is behind ear

 

Not every 8-inch tall, hard plastic doll is a Ginny:
