Is that vintage Ginny doll being offered for sale wearing a gold Ginny heart necklace? Odds are high that the necklace is a modern reproduction.

Sometime in the late 1990’s, Shirley’s Dollhouse in Wheeling Illinois, was the seller of a store exclusive reproduction Ginny heart necklace that is nearly identical to the vintage Ginny necklace. Shirley sold her overstock to a man who lives in Illinois, and he has been selling these necklaces on Ebay, at doll shows and other places. Shirley also sells these Ginny necklaces every now and then on Ebay.

Certain sellers who restore vintage Ginny dolls have been buying up these REPRODUCTION GINNY NECKLACES. The necklaces are now showing up on these restored dolls and being represented as original by omission, or by direct misrepresentation.

Ask before you buy, but there is no guarantee you will get an honest answer.
