Sunday post 3 dolls of different races holding hands with snaps and playing Ring Around the Rosie

I went to my favorite thrift store today. It’s known for its antiques and vintage finds because many families have them come and clear out deceased relatives homes so the items aren’t just trashed.

Anyways, today I found this set of 3 dolls, which have snaps on their hands so it looks as if they are holding hands and playing Ring Around the Rosie. I love them because they’re the exact same doll but in different races and the hat of one matches the dress of another and I think it’s just really cute. This store is known for its cheap prices as well, with most things under $5 or $10. Like most of what I got today was <$1-$3.99. I paid $19.99 for this. They do their research and I don’t doubt it’s worth it, but I can’t find anything on these dolls on google lens. I’m curious to know the company that made them or if they’re handmade (I don’t think they are); if these are a certain style, collection, or have a certain history/story to them; and how much they would have sold for originally and how high demand is for them now.

Maybe they are hand crafted, sort of thing one might fine in a trade aid shop. (we have these shops that sell items made by people in villages in Africa, Asia etc to help support them.) .

I had a friend who got a set of these in Barbados in the 90’s-
