Those Doll Heads that you Diggers & Pickers Keep Finding

06 March 2014

Walking around the Baltimore Antique Bottle Show this past weekend and looking at the kazillion antique bottles and old go-withs that we typically see at a show of this fine calibre, you can’t help but to see an occasional dolls head, positioned quietly and eerily on some of the dealer tables. Eric Richter spotted and photographed the dolls head above on a table. Like Santa Claus and clowns, doll heads can also be a bit unnerving. Hollywood of course has picked up on this with Chucky.

Charles Lee “Chucky” Ray (born January 24, 1950), also known as the Lakeshore Strangler and Chucky the Killer Doll, is a fictional character and the primary antagonist in the Child’s Play series. This one-of-a-kind doll has been brought back 4 times.

Anyway, I thought I would put together a Dolls Head Gallery and say “here is another reason to go to bottle shows.”
