Mystery French Doll Followup with Podcast Results

Back in June 2018, the post, Mystery French Doll Who Am I?, reached out to readers with a request to help the folks at Gimlet Media's The Nod identify a circa 1970s doll that was purchased in France.  Based on the former owner's description, the doll looked like the above sketch.

On the right is a doll made by the French company Gamma, a.k.a. Gamma Creations.  The doll on the left, which looks identical to the other, might be a Gamma clone.
According to the former owner of the mystery doll, of the dolls presented to her by The Nod as a result of their investigative endeavors, the two dolls shown above are most like the one she owned as a child.  Her doll, however, was not dressed as an Islander.

The Nod has published a 45-minute podcast that details their interesting doll sleuthing and the results.

A podcast app is required to listen to The Nod's episode about the mystery doll here or go to this URL:  https://www.gimletmedia.com/the-nod/the-nod-bureau-of-investigation#episode-player.

Podcast player options are located at the link and URL above.
