This doll was a highly treasured toy for a girl. The amount of wear and tear given to this doll indicates the great attachment to and comfort that its owner had with it. This doll could have been on a farm or cattle property in the Kiewa Valley rather than in the town.Due to the lack of social activities in the valley during the period, self amusement at home and limited interaction outside of the valley would have been this dolls prime role for its owner. The time between the two World Wars was one of recession and limited funds outside that required for survival. This is clearly demonstrated by the painted face and home made repairs to the body and limbs Porcelain/ceramic doll with painted face features. Half ceramic arms and legs.

Leanne and Janette were the twin daughters of Reginald and Margaret Wilson. Reginald was a baker in Linton (the last baker to work from the former Nicol bakery in Sussex Street). The girls were born on 31st March 1965 and baptised 2nd May 1965. Baptism record Nos.: 852 & 853. School records show that the girls started school at Linton February 1970 before transferring to Macedon at the end of that year. In note from Leslie Cairns (née Hart) dated 4 November 2019: "My mum and dad spent quite some time at that bakery. Mum - Maisie Hart - used to enjoy working in the shop among the very special food, whilst Dad - Bill Hart - loved looking after the children especially the twin girls. They were very sad when the owners, Reg and Marg Wilson bought a bakery in Morowa - inland from Geraldton in West Australia. Competition from large bread companies was ruining their business. Mum and Dad were their "adopted grandparents" and on at least two occasions travelled over there to help when Marg wasn't well."Black and white image of twin girls playing on a swing.
