Vintage Skipper Treasure Trove is an additional website to my four previous websites on Vintage Skipper dolls.
Here you can find everything which doesn't fit on the original pages due to storage problems (maximum size of these free pages).

Toots is almost identical to Cricket from the American Character Toys Inc.
Back in the 60s American Character Toys Inc. licenses European Toy manufacturers - such as "Schildkröt" in Germany, "Bella" in France and "Palitoy" in England - to produce Tressy and family dolls for their country. These dolls differ from the originals. In Germany, Cricket is called "Babsy", in France her name is "Snouky" and in England she's called "Toots". All these dolls are well made made and have the growing hair function.
In the U.K., Palitoy produces and sells Tressy's little sister "Toots". Her stock number is #30601. Toots is sold starting 1965, and is available for several years. She comes with hair in shades of blonde and brunette.
WILL BE UPDATED SOON !!!Probably all of Cricket's fashions had been avalaible for Toots as well, however, some of them had different names and stock numbers in GB.
Cricket's "Mad Music" #14107 was named „Pick of the Pops“ in England and had the stock number #9083100. „Ship Ahoy“ #14101 had the stock number #9083101 in Great Britain. Maybe some additional fashion sets were available in England, which weren't sold in the U.S.A., in France or Germany.
I couldn't find a booklet for Toots (and her sister) yet.
Cricket's Gift Paks probably weren't sold in the UK and Germany, but this information isn't confirmed.
For more information on the outfits and gift paks please go to the chapters "Cricket" and "Snouky". Some are also pictured with "Babsy".
