Object history
Part of the Palitoy Archive
All manufactured items were tested by Palitoy before being sold. As the company was beginning to make this line of dolls under licence from Kenner Products, each had to be tested for poisonous substances and fire risk. All the vinyl parts have pieces missing, though there is no trace of fire testing on these parts.
