For those of you who don't know, this is a lolly doll. She's made out of pink checkered fabric and has a rattle in her head. This doll is no longer made, but I got mine 31 years ago on the day I was born. I slept with it every single night. It even went to college with me. Today she is sitting on my bed. I sleep with her when my husband is out of town. Needless to say, she's been through a lot. She no longer has eyes, or a nose, or a mouth, but other than that she's still in one piece.
5 years ago I found one on ebay and bought it for my little sister who was turning 1 at the time. It quickly became her favorite doll. I found another one on ebay this past christmas and bought it for my niece who was 6 months. It also became her favorite doll. I don't know what it is about this doll, but babies are just drawn to it.
They do have a boy one named cholly, who I'm still looking for. If you know someone who has a baby, or is expecting a baby, try and find one of these. I guarantee it will quickly become a favorite.

How nice that you are able to find these on ebay and give them as gifts. Good luck on yur search for Cholly!
I had one of those when I was a little girl!!! That poor thing was so worn when we finally got rid of her, I really can't remember what we did with her.
This must be so sentimental to you!! I remember these growing up!
