Mary "Tjorven" by Ratti. Italy, 60s.

While she was named Mary by the factory, this doll is most commonly known as Tjorven after a Astrid Lindgren story book charaster. This doll was very popular in Scandinavia and her popularity happened around the same time as the TV adaptation of the Seacrow Island book was first shown on TV. The actress playing Tjorven has a similar grin as the doll, so the name stuck.
