Great find! The mirror is original and came with the trunk, the tin, music box all original to Samantha. What a great way to jump start a Samantha collection! Enjoy 🎉
The Baldwin Primer, author May Kirk, published 1899. This book was for early learning through stories, songs and writing exercises. Original copies can still be found on ebay and other sites.
I also like watching Jonny's videos. I am not really drawn to the older dolls because I like some of the newer face molds better, but the details of the old collections are interesting. I have learned, or refreshed my memory, about some historical events just by looking at the AG items. I love the original teaching concept of American Girl, and it's sad that many kids have now stopped playing with dolls at ten years-old, which is the age the stories were aimed at.
Oh my goodness this Samantha is so STUNNING!!! How lucky that all of that survived the fire. What a great find ❤🎉 I'm happy she found a new home with you!
What a fabulous haul! I love vintage AG dolls and items. I’m also a fan of I dream of Jonny. He is so helpful and has a wealth of knowledge. Your Samantha has interesting eyes. She is adorable! A collector dream come true. Congrats!🥰
Wow, this is one of the most beautiful Samantha dolls I've ever seen! Her eyelashes are so wispy, those bright amber eyes and her little pink blush, I can't believe how much color and life she still has! Sometimes white bodies can look a little haunted, but this Samantha just has such charm to her with her adorable little wink. :) Not to mention she survived a literal fire, like, ok queen go off. What a find!
I follow another TH-camr from the U.K. ,and she gets dolls 2nd hand & ends up making her collection, not just dolls on a shelf, but they have unique stories behind many. One doll was a mess, ( had a back story i dont remember ) but she gave it love & made her a quirky outfit. And a couple times things near her broke. Her teen daughter said the doll did it & named her Nightmare Nutmeg. Anyways, my point is, I think it's fun when a doll isn't perfect, & they have a story. It gives them a unique personality.
I really wish the attempt to bring them to international had paid off. I think a full expansion where they cover histories of other countries would be so fabulous!! I think the only INTL presence they have now are Dubai and Canada?
I definitely STEPPED on my original hairbrush. They are real metal and sturdy 😂. Had the official matching nightgown with my samatha doll as a kid, and the limited edition blue sailor set... the rest were knockoffs made with the official patterns. Very jealous of this find!
What a find! What a deal! It's great to see an American girl update from you mate. You mentioned you aren't really buying from Mattel at the moment. I noticed that as you haven't done any new reviews on Monster High G3 dolls. May I ask what your issue is with Mattel at the moment? Thank you for all your insight. My day got just a little brighter today when I saw you upload
Sorry I was busy today. Definitely not money issues, doing very well, got a huge raise at work… though I wouldn’t even mention if I wasn’t because people online are ridiculous. It’s the Zionism, yeah :/
The green square is probably a pen wiper. The wrapping on the pen is probably intended to simulate the cork where you put your fingers on the old dip-in-inkwell pens.
OMG CONGRATS! American Girl and Pleasant company is basically the only thing that I collect and it’s my number one special interest! Oh btw the lunch tin is Samantha’s, there’s multiple variations depending on what the lunch box came with over the years, but the tin always stayed the same. It’s funny that you posted this because in exactly one week and four days from now, I will be getting my first white body! I saved up my own money to buy her and I finally have enough because I met a women who sells AG and PC dolls and she held her for me till I had enough ❤ so grateful for her and I cannot wait to get my first white body! Waited almost 10 years for a WB doll!
A little pity (but not serious) the issue of the right eye mechanism (maybe is only a bit a dirt stuck inside. but I don't know the way to clean it), but this doll is really wonderful 💕. As I know, the Pleasant's dolls with white body are very rare and requested by the collectors: you had a great luck to find one of them... and she is even miraculous that is survived from a fire with her suitcase: I believe she needs a lot of love 🥰. I also have a Pleasant's Samantha (but with beige body) and love, really love her, as a real girl child, so I know very well how is cute, sweet glanced and adorable. Take a lot care of her, as she deserves it.
Write the company, let them know (include pic )what happened to the trunk and ask if it can be repaired. You never know…..they may have a solution! Nothing ventured nothing gained!
Such a lucky find! I love my Sam! I’m sure the trunk could be carefully cleaned. I don’t see any heat damage, just smoke accumulation.

you being in the car reminds me of your older videos !! cozy vibe

The brass tin is her lunch bucket for school. It can easily be cleaned.
The wink is adorable i think it adds a special cute charm to the doll ^_^

I just recently got a 1987 Sam. She’s so beautiful! Congratulations on your find. 😊
I'm I love with this Samantha's hair! More of a hunky brown so prettyyy ughh

I like dolls that have history even if they never restore to perfection :)
Who is this other TH-camr? She sounds like someone I would also love to follow
@@TotallyDolls tiny soul whispers
@@jackiecook8753 thanks, I will check her out!
Samantha is my favorite character! I love her era! Great find!
Your new Sam is exceptionally cute 🥰
She is so special and I love her !!!! ❤
also i’m always sat for an AG video !!! my fave
You can repaint the outside of the box/case with acrylic paint and decorate it. IT is still good on the inside!
My favorite doll of all time!! I hope you do some folow-up videos of her! Love your videos!!
Yay!!! Congrats and what an amazing story, wow she survived a house fire! She’s a beauty!!! ❤ so happy for you Brooke
I don't collect AG, I'm in Ireland so we don't really see them here very often, but they are really cute and I enjoy seeing videos about their history
I really wish the attempt to bring them to international had paid off. I think a full expansion where they cover histories of other countries would be so fabulous!! I think the only INTL presence they have now are Dubai and Canada?
These retro little girls are so cute

could be their Zionism, although pretty much every doll company is unfortunately Zionist :/
@@bugdomrulez I figured it's just money problems. New dolls are quite expensive.

My Kirsten sitting with me watching this vid like: 👀

Yay! Congrats! Im hopeing to find one thrifting.

Love seeing your Britney CD 😍🥹
The only AG things i own are two Wellie Wishers. I just found a Emerson mint in box at a Thrift store recently.
I love seeing you find dolls you love ❤
the wink is super cute
I saw that doll on eBay yesterday.I am so happy for you
Awesome find Brooke, saw a few at a flea market this weekend

I like the Christmas dress. I have the pleasant company brush and the American Girl doll brush and the American Girl doll brush is much better made.
Awesome find
Makings of a Cursed doll origin story. That girl survived the fire cause she started it and ran!!!
I would love to own Samantha's entire collection someday.
Wow... she is so cute. One day I wish to get one
A dry cleaner might be able to clean the trunk.

41:50 I wish that was the case everywhere! *cries in Canadian*
I mean… most eBay sellers in the US will ship to Canada so that’s an extra $30 or so for shipping
The green square is blotting paper for the ink pen
Love the videos 💕
Congrats on the doll American girl doll absolutely gorgeous Samantha and pretty so I am blushing 😊 she’s incredibly a aw cute

I don't want to sound annoying but are you planning to do the precure review anytime soon
How much did you buy it for?? I need to know because i want to sell mine!
It’s talked about in the video
so lucky
can u do an omg tour
What were you covering in the first part of the video? That startled me
The building I was sitting in front of. People are very creepy
@@xCanadensis Oh I understand now. I have heard that you should blur out the faces of people in your video unless they really want to be seen in it.
I dont know which is cuter, the doll or you lol :)
U could die it
Wtf is this video
Exactly what the title and thumbnail described ?? Lol
