Cinnamon
By Ideal

In the 1970s, I was the mother of three small boys. I loved dolls but didn’t have the opportunity to share this with my children. But I earned extra money sewing doll clothes for my friends’ daughters. I bought this “Cinnamon” doll with growing hair to use as a model for the doll clothes because she was very popular at the time, and everyone wanted more clothes for her. I liked her so much I kept her, and she was never played with. She is marked “1971 Ideal Toy Corp. Gh-12 H-188.”

Doll size: 12 inches
Condition: mint, no box
2009 value: $50

Because of her great production, Cinnamon is not a hard-to-find doll. However, it is somewhat difficult to find in un-played-with condition. You did not mention if you kept the box as well as her hair accessories; if so, the value is more than I listed. However, her pristine condition gives your doll her high value. The played-with Cinnamons bring low prices today.
