The scoop on Chatty

Several years ago in Doll College I did a series on the Chatty Cathy Family of dolls.  I am going to cut and paste the information on the # 1 Chatty.
From Doll College
 Chatty Cathy.
The first prototype was issued in 1959 and the first doll sold in
1960. The skin color was lighter and the limbs had a thicker look to
them. The speaker grill was covered with a circle of tan cloth. The
doll had either blonde or brunette hair with the pageboy style. Her
head was soft vinyl.
In 1960 a body mark was added. The mark is in a triangle in the
lower center back.

Below the body mark was the Mattel Toy makers Insignia, which was a
circle with a small boy sitting on the letter M. The limbs were
still light and the head was soft vinyl. Hair colors and style were
the same as the previous year. These dolls said 11 phrases according
to the book, "Chatty Cathy Dolls â€" An Identification and Value
Guide"
by Don and Kathy Lewis. This doll was valued in 1994 MIB $250.00.
This was the second issue of the Chatty Cathy doll.
