On the left is my first doll Nappy. Nappy got her name because she was the doll that would take naps with me. I don't remember getting Nappy because I was still a baby. But I did love her well. She is missing some eyelashes. Her hair is a wig, my Mom brought her to a doll doctor when I was older and had her cleaned and she got a new wig. What was left of her original rooted hair was mostly just a few bits at the top. I have been told that I used to carry Nappy around by her hair, poor little thing. She also wears her original outfit, however when my mom had her cleaned up at the doll doctor she reattached the little apple on it upside down. I've decided I couldn't stand it anymore and took it off, but haven't put it back on right yet. Her shoes and socks are replacements from the doll doctor.

Nappy is unmarked. I have found a similar doll listed in the "Dolls and Accesories of the 1950's book by Dian Zillner. It has the same head as Nappy's. This is the Uneeda Prithilla doll, made in the late 50's. The legs are straight where Nappy is a bent knee baby. Perhaps Uneeda sold the molds or made dolls for someone else. I've seen Prithilla on eBay a few times and bought a pair of them in fancy clothes, pictured to the right. As you can see they don't have the same type of eyes either. Nappy's are black, while the others have more typical doll eyes. I haven't seen this pair in a box but I'm pretty certain the clothes are original and factory made. The hat is secured to the boys head, and has never been removed. They are missing their shoes, though I've found some replacements of sorts since I took this photo.
