A relative of Billy Weekes who posts here was a travelling pedlar and part of his stock which Billy inherited was some wrestling dolls and jig dolls and monkeys-on-sticks. Billy gave me them and I passed them on to Jim Eldon. I also passed some of my jig dolls on to Pat. When did Pat pass on? I didn't know. What happened to her collections? A museum I hope. Dancing dolls are quite popular with buskers even today, usually worked with the foot and strings while the busker plays an instrument like Jim does. Mostly I remember the vibrating board type like Rennie's which I used to have.
