- History
- THIS DOLL, KNOWN AS “TINY CHATTY BABY,” WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TALKING DOLLS MADE. THE DOLL WAS GIVEN TO CORY MOGUS WHEN SHE WAS BORN IN 1962. THE CRACKS ACROSS EITHER SHOULDER ARE THE RESULT OF AN INCIDENT INVOLVING THE DONOR'S YOUNGER SISTER. THE SISTER, TWO YEARS OLD AT THE TIME, WAS PLAYING WITH THE DOLL NEXT TO HER NAPPING FATHER WHEN SHE DECIDED TO WAKE HIM BY HITTING HIM IN THE HEAD WITH THE DOLL.
