1. Did you do that?

Is that your work?

3. Oh no. Troika is a famous pottery company from Cornwall. (England)

It has had many names so the actual Troika is extinct as far as the company name goes. It is interesting because every artist who designed with them had a different mark and you can see them all a this one website. That is how I found out who made mine.

Unfortunately there is a chip in it. It is very small but one little chip will cut the value way down.

2. after 42 years you are selling your dolls !

you know they are:cry: well maybe you`ll find them a good home

[Maraya1969]

4. Oh now I feel terrible! I never thought of Calamity Jiddle or Curious George

as so anthropomorphic until just now. :cry:


And now you madrchsod :spank: for putting the thought in my head. j/k :hug:



I'm sure they will both end up with good homes though. They are collector's items.

5. sorry ...i`m going through all my stuff of 40-50 years

6. My mother was nice enough to take care of my things after I go older

and didn't play with them anymore. She also used to make clothes for all my dolls and the clothes are beautiful. You don't appreciate those things when you are a little kid, (or kiddle).

Do you remember when curious George had a paper route and decided to use a newspaper to make a sailboat and then he made two and then the whole lake was covered with sail boats and he had no newspapers left to deliver? That was my favorite curious George story.

I used to read those books as a kid. I don't know what happened to them though.
