VEL NOGET AF DET SIDSTE TØJ TIL GINGER
ONE OF GINGER'S LAST OUTFITS, I SUPPOSE
Da jeg fik denne klon (og hun var faktisk en af de første Ginger-dukker, jeg købte på ebay), var parykken limet fast ind til hovedet helt ned til nakken - det så mildest talt ikke godt ud! Jeg fik forsigtigt parykken af, og det lykkedes mig at rense den for al limen. Den blev faktisk ret flot, synes jeg!
Dukken går fint nok, øjnene virker også, men det har de måske ikke altid gjort; i øjenkrogene har hun lidt småskader, som kunne tænkes at stamme fra forsøg på at åbne øjne, der havde sat sig fast i lukket position.
Hun har været ude i kulden et stykke tid, jeg overvejede at sortere hende ud, men jeg er kommet på bedre tanker og har givet hende en kjole på fra det svenske NK-katalog fra 1960 med nummeret 225. Den er af ret ringe kvalitet, er heller ikke mærket, men kan som sagt ses i kataloget. Et af de mange mysterier omkring Ginger.
This is one of the first dolls I bought off ebay. I bought her because of her red hair, but the wig turned out to be completely glued to her scalp all the way down to her neck! Not very nice. I managed to get the wig off, I carefully washed and combed all the glue out of it - look how nice it is now! Her eyes open and shut as they should, but at some time they may have been pried open - the corners show minor damage. Her walker is all right, she's quite a delightful doll now, in spite of being a clone.
I did actually decide to get rid of her, but I thought better of it, so here she is, back in my collection, dressed in an outfit shown in the 1960 Swedish NK catalog as #225. It is of very poor quality, quite unlike most of the earlier Ginger outfits, the hat is a limp felt hat, and it either lost its tag or never was tagged. If I had not seen it in the booklet, I would never have guessed this is supposed to be a Ginger outfit.
