I always thought of it as a "doctor's bag."


Suburban Chicago, December 24, 1962. This cherished gift was part of the "Little Play Nurse Outfit" set. This was the same Christmas I experienced disappointment when my Parents gave me that "Tammy" doll.

You didn't hear as much about VNS in them thar days.

PS If you want to know why your parents were hesitant to give you a Barbie, read the story of how Ruth Hendler came to create the doll, but I understand your feeling at the time over knockoffs.

It was the same for guy's things, too.
