Our selection here consists of two "Dolly Daydream" dolls which stand approximately 13cm (5 in.) high and four outfits, a long gown, a pinafore dress, a siren (trouser) suit, and a coat. All are intact with no breaks or cracks, which is remarkable given their age and undoubted use. There is some paint loss to all of the pieces, which has been left "as is" as renovation would remove much of their undoubted charm. These are unusual and charming items and it is hoped they find a new loving home...

Dolly had different names across the world. "Miss Birdie" was Fethalite's version sold in Australia and Ideal Toys had their "Peggy" version in the US. The dolls came with slightly different outfits it seems, but are based on the same slightly hollowed out painted plastic doll figure.

These are now highly desirable and collectable, for the enthuasiast of the BIBA brand or fashion in general or for those people nostalgic for the era!

The cards appear to be almost unused with no visible wear. The outer box does have some signs of handing and storage wear (particular to the rear) but considering their materials and age we consider them to have done well to look this good at their age.
