nspecting the recently purchased "Marilú" doll, trunk and wardrobe,
four shipping labels still attached to the exterior of the trunk were
observed. Continuing with the inspection of each item with much
excitement, a little book appeared buried at the bottom of one of the
drawers. It was discovered that on the first page Lynn Murtha, the original
young owner, had signed her name, the same last name as the one written
on the shipping labels. So the research began...
Imagine the year 1940. A proud
gentleman wearing an impeccable
United States Air Force uniform
strolls down the popular Florida
Street in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Sent on an official trip to South
America, Lt. Colonel John T. Murtha
looks past all the elegant boutiques,
fine restaurants, charming cafes,
and amazing department stores like
Harrods and Gath & Chavez lining the
sophisticated shopping district, until
he comes to huge windows filled with
beautiful dolls. This is just what he is
looking for! He wants to buy a special
gift for his nine-year-old daughter
Jacqueline, waiting for him back home
in New Jersey. Entering the shop, he

"Marilú" is dressed with the original
tagged white and blue romper and
bonnet. She is wearing her perfectly
fitted red and blue canvas sandals. The
doll was made by Konning & Wernicke
and is marked "K&W Germany 121"
on back of the head. Her body has the
red stamp that reads, "Marilú Marca
Registrada." She has well-articulated
shoulders, elbows and wrists. Also note
her articulated legs just above the knees.

An early "Marilú" doll, made by Kammer &
Reinhardt, is marked 917. Her well-made
tagged checkered pink fabric dress with
diminutive white trim, crochet cotton
gloves and purse are also part of Lynn's
trunk original items.
