My grandfather would send them to me, they were my "fancy dolls", but eventually my mother got rid of them as they got tattered.
I wish I still had them. I have the impression they were some sort of promotional item he got from a gas station maybe?
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

They were not the sort of dollies little girls played with, they were displayed in a glass curio cabinet and only rarely removed for admiring fans. Each doll had a beautifully detailed national costume and came with a display stand. I gave her a Geisha doll that came with a red kimono for a birthday gift.
