<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 80077, member: 44&quot;]Just noticed that a full pic of the pirate doll is also on p. 72, Illustration 106. It looks like the same pirate doll Gillian Trotter posted on her Norah Wellings blog page that Book linked too. The full length pic has the doll holding a cutlass with a red sash around his middle. She says above the picture </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Three different pirates were also introduced. They came in two sixes: A 11 1/2in (29cm) and C 15in (38cm).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here Trotter says under the pic, note she says **15 inches**:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<i>Pirate</i> model K40 stands 15in (38cm) tall with a fearsome velvet character face and painted features. He has a velvet body and his plus four trousers, socks and shoes with buckle are an integral part of his body. He wears a felt coat with gold buttons and a yellow felt vest. He has matching art silk scarves around his waist, neck and head and has a felt four-corned hat. He carries a wooden cutlass.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Your other Norah Wellings&#039; doll is pictured in Trotter&#039;s book also on p. 74, Illustration 110, in a group pic called &quot;Novelty Dolls.&quot;&nbsp; Under the pic it says:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Illustration 110. Page from a 1938 Norah Wellings catalogue shows military dolls and a <i>Girl Guide</i> and <i>Boy Scout</i> doll.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>and down below the pic is written:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;A Boy Scout model 1143 and Girl Guide model 1144 (see illustration 110) both wore authentic English uniforms.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
