I wonder if your rubber baby was Amosan...Hi Betty,<br /><br />I wonder if your rubber baby was Amosandra as seen <a href="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c2/96/06/c29606cf529615091aebce4853ef38f8--old-dolls-antique-dolls.jpg" rel="nofollow">here.</a> Amosandra was released to the market in 1949 by the Sun Rubber Company to represent the new baby of Amos and his wife Ruby (of the Amos 'N Andy radio show). Your doll might have also been American Character's <a href="https://i.pinimg.com/236x/44/fe/8c/44fe8c59f189170208d2acd260f57ae4.jpg" rel="nofollow">Tiny Tears</a> (the black version was named Baby Tears). Baby Tears was available with rooted and molded hair and was on the market for one year only, 1956. <br /><br />The dolls mentioned above are in the article but several others were omitted unfortunately during the editing process. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-24649322492351076002017-09-15T15:51:14.331-05:002017-09-15T15:51:14.331-05:00Growing up in the 1950's this little white gir...Growing up in the 1950's this little white girl had a black rubber baby doll. My sister and I each had one. She was a drink and wet doll. I remember that feature because my mother wouldn't let us do it because she said it would make a mess. We must not have gotten these dolls for Christmas because my mother had photos taken every Christmas and these dolls do not appear in any of those pictures. So, we must have gotten them another time of the year and there are no photos. I feel like I'd recognize her if I ever saw her and every once in a while I'll do a search on eBay. I'm thinking she'd be about 12 inches long, but since I was little back then I might be off. Sadly, my mother never kept things and I'm sure as we got older these dolls ended up in a landfill along with other dolls and toys. I can picture her in my mind and I'm sure if I ever come across one I'd know it. I wonder if she might have been in your article?
