Molly:
1944 Molly McIntire® is a lively, lovable, patriotic girl growing up in 1944. Her stories describe her life on the home front during World War Two. Molly doesn’t like many of the changes the war has brought, and she especially misses her father, who is away caring for wounded soldiers. But Molly learns the importance of getting along and pulling together—just as her country has to do to win the war! |

Your Molly doll has soft gray eyes that
wink and blink behind her shiny glasses. Her thick
pigtails are fun to braid and tie with ribbons, or you can let them out and brush her long
wavy hair. Molly is soft and huggable with arms and legs that move so
you can have her sit, stand, and hold all the accessories you collect
for her. $87 MDP Molly Doll & Paperback Book Released 1986 |

Inside, tuck her monogrammed hankie and a 1943 steel penny that was used during the war when copper was in short supply. Cut out the pictureof Molly’s dad and paste it in her locket. While Dad was away at war, Molly kept his picture inside the heart—and she never forgot to wear it. $20 MMA (penny becomes a reproduction coin in 1994) |

Appendix
|
|
When Molly was first introduced in 1986,
her glasses were a little different than the ones today. This change,
which took place in the late 1990’s, is seen primarily in the ear
pieces, instead of curving around behind the ear the ear pieces go straight
over the top of the ear. This was done because of the variety of head
molds for the dolls. For instance Molly’s glasses that curve around
behind her ear do not fit on Addy who has an elongated head.
