Tammy and her Family

Tammy doll by Ideal (1964)

There is a entire family associated with Tammy. She has a Mom, Dad, big brother - Ted, and little sister - Pepper. All these dolls have a wardrobe of clothes created for them. Of course, Tammy's closet is the fullest. These outfits are extremely well constructed from quality fabrics and came with a number of fun accessoriies.

The most definitive book on Tammy is by Cindy Sabulis and Susan Weglewski entitled "Collector's Guide to Tammy Identification and Values." If you love Tammy or want to learn more, this is the book to buy. Since this book pictures just about everything for Tammy and her family, I won't display too much on my page. I will only include a few of my favorite outfits and my one very unique item that isn't displayed in the book or any other that I know of -- that is a Tammy/Tiny Thumbelina Coloring Book.

Scroll down to see some outfits and the coloring book mentioned above.

Below is that coloring book I have never seen mentioned anywhere! What is quite strange is that the publisher, Watkins and Strathmore Co., put Ideal Tammy with another Ideal doll which is not in the Tammy family. The first half of the coloring book is about Tammy, loosely connected to the book "Tammy's Adventure in Hollywood", by Whitman Publishing. The pictures to color show many of her outfits, such as: Walking Her Pet, Ring a Ding, Travel Along, Tennis the Menace, Dream Boat, and others. I think it's an interesting rarity.

Below are four pages from the coloring book.

The first two pages show outfits "Walking Her Pet" and "Sorority Sweetheart".

The second two pagesshow "Model Miss" and "Dream Boat".
