A large collection of vintage Grecon dolls have arrived here at KT Miniatures and I am delighted to announce that the first half of the collection has just gone up for sale on KT Miniatures website today. Business has been brisk and many were sold in the first hour of listing, but there are still quite a few left.
To date, this is the largest
Grecon doll collection I have taken on and opportunities like this for the
serious doll collector just do not come along very often. This particular
collection belonged to a lady who had been collecting Grecon dolls since her childhood
in the 1950s, culminating in a much loved collection of over 150 dolls.
It is now her family's wish that these little dolls go to new homes where
they will continue to be appreciated and cherished.

I
am splitting the collection into two...the first part of the collection
consists of around 70 dolls, all of which are in a reasonably good condition -
one or two are quite special, and it is those that I have put up for sale
today, some of which you can see in the photo above.
Then in a few days time I will put up for sale the second part of this collection which will feature all the other Grecon dolls and there are one heck of a lot of them! Some have minor damage, some have been repaired, then there are some that have major damage and missing a limb or two!

In fact some are downright dilapidated and some even a little whacky but which could be used for "spares". These would be ideal for the enthusiast who loves rescuing old Grecons and breathing new life into them. There will be some bargains to be had.

Wow what an amazing collection, I have a whole family of these dolls now which I have collected over time. I like to buy the ones needing repaired and have even made new felt clothes for some of mine.
Well Diane, next week I am hoping to put up the second part of this collection and there will certainly be some that will be in need of repair:) Celia
My grandmother passed away and I now have 4 Grecon dolls she bought in Germany when my grandfather was stationed there in WWII. My Mom was born there too and she’s 68 now.
