“Clara Toys” Doll Comes Home!

Seán & Bob and the presentation of the Doll

Bob Emprimo from America presents the "Clara Toys" Doll to Seán Radley for Millstreet Museum at "Nibbles Food Emporium", West End, Millstreet on Friday, 1st April 2011.

Having been alerted by Michael (Cashman) on www.millstreet.ie that available to purchase on eBay there was an original doll which had been manufactured in Millstreet’s “Clara Toys” Factory and bought for £5.50 at Blarney Woollen Mills quite some years ago, Bob Emprimo arranged to bid for and bought the said doll. In memory of the late Jack Doody who had visited Millstreet some years ago and because Bob is married to Patricia Doody he decided to present the Doll to Millstreet Museum. Here we also view two of Jack Doody’s daughters and Carole presenting the Doll. Our sincere thanks to All.

On behalf of the family of John E “Jack” Doody, Sr, I would like to thank the Town of Millstreet, and particularly Michael Cashman and Sean Radley, for having been permitted to contribute in this small way, to the preservation of Millstreet’s rich trove of heritage. It was a great delight to have been able to escort this wee, wayward, small lady on her journey home.

It was also a great delight to have Sean Radley welcome Jack’s daughters, Patricia, Annette and Susan, as well as Carole, Steve and myself, with such enthusiastic sincerety. It was definitely a true highlight of our too brief, but delightful visit. It was also my great privilege to have finally met with the genuinely delightful Eily Buckley.

These individuals have been and continue to be tremendous, tireless assets in service to the betterment of the Millstreet community.

Many thanks Bob & All for such uplifting comments. Both Eily and I were delighted to have met with you all this week. We are so very pleased to have received the “Clara Toys” Doll where it will soon reside in its new home at Millstreet Museum. It has already featured in our LTV2 programme this week. Very best wishes to All.
