Buying dolls at gas stations
Do they still sell collectible stuff at gas stations? I mean, beyond the constant new and exciting processed snack food products like Slim Jim Honey Jalapeno Cheddar Stixxs or Reese's Double Super White Nougat Caramel Peanut Fluffyballs.
I mean stuff like these dolls I excitedly collected in the mid-70s. Each represented a nationality (Ireland, England, and Spain, above.) I can't find any info on these dolls online, so please let me know if you remember them or have some in your closet, too.

No, they don't sell these or anything else charming at gas stations any more. These remind me of the satin and lace bed dolls I longed for. They were popular in the 50's but could still be found here and there in the 70's. They didn't have legs because they had a huge skirt which spread out, about the size of a trash can lid and they just sat on the bed looking pretty.
