These are clothespin dolls that Grandma L made. I don't know if she tried to sell any. She made sure that all the grandkids had them. At least, she made sure all the female ones did. I have one male cousin on that side, and he might have been skipped.
It's also possible that he wasn't. Back when a new Barbie (tm) meant they had added Ken or Skipper to the line, Grandma L made sure that each of her grandchildren had the new Barbie (tm) as soon as it came out. My cousin, being a boy, did not play with his. We had not the first clue that this would be a benefit to him. It those times and that place, the idea of children's toys being collectable would have seemed looney.
But when my cousin reached college age, there they were - all those different Barbies (tm) sitting in the closet in their original packaging. Not a hair out of place, not a plastic pump missing.
He sold them and bought a set of golf clubs. So if he missed out on getting a clothespin doll, he wasn't entirely bereft.
