We (I think it was Ann, though) bought the pedlar doll pictured above about thirty years, or so ago, with very little stock left. It was a real family effort to put her back in business, though. All five of our children made items of stock for the pedlar lady to carry. Ann repaired her dress, and I restored her tray. About a year ago, we were doing a little clearing out, found her in a box, and I finally made her hanging case out of an old picture frame. She now hangs in our hall, just inside the front door, and is admired by all, well all of good taste, anyway.
It's always worth doing a bit of clearing out - you never know what you'll find.
