I'm not exactly sure how old my Toni doll Yvonne is, but I had her my first day of school, when I was 5, in 1952. Why I vividly remember this is because my Aunt Addie made Yvonne and me matching dresses! She still wears this dress, and I have no idea what she originally wore.
I played with her for years, doing and redoing her hair, and now my youngest granddaughter, who is 5 like I was when I got her, plays with her all the time, doing and redoing her hair. Her hair is a mess, but she's still a beautiful doll! The circle of life.
