The large box containing a 1962 Deluxe Reading Candy Fashion Doll plus wardrobe was found at the flea market. Candy is 20 in., all vinyl with jointed elbows and knees. The head is marked “21 HH/K 60”. These dolls were sold only at food markets for $12.98. She came with a wardrobe of four outfits with accessories.

In the early 1950’s I was in high school, not thinking about dolls anymore. A few more years brought graduation from college, marriage, three sons and a daughter. It was 1964 and I had only bought one doll, a 12 in. plastic GI Joe with life like hair.  He has been gently played with and I still have the box. Selecting gifts for my daughter, Elaine, started me thinking about dolls again and collecting resumed.
