    I have a doll from the mid to late 1960's who needs a new left leg. does anyone know where I might get one of these ? I have tried in vain to contact the Crolly factory - maybe they are not in existence anymore??? Also does anyone have clothes for crolly dolls from that time ?

    There is a doll & Teddy bear hospital on South Great George's street, Dublin 2 - you could try there

    my wife has a 40+yr old crolly doll, looking to find some information, but it seems that the factory is closed? It is a very Large doll, still in its origional packing. "A Miss Crolly Doll by Gaeltarra"

    If anyone has any information, that would be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi medicman, if you want I can leave the thread here in this forum for a few days. If you don't get any answers here then I can move it over to the Toys & Boardgames forum, where you may get some more success.

    You might find the upcoming documentary on Crolly Dolls and the now closed factory in Donegal interesting. TG4 early October.

    hi i know this is an old tread but incase its still active heres some info on the crolly dolls factory, although the factory in Crolly has now closed (my mum workd there in her teens) they are still making the dolls in Annagry, the business has changed hands over the years but the skills have been passed along, so to track them down search crolly dolls annagry, i can no longer find their website but i have found details on local contact sites.. hope this is helpful,
