Here we view Denis O’Shea of the Millstreet Branch of Cork Co. Council with the Celtic Doll which he delivered from An Post and Mary Cronin of Millstreet Museum with the Clara Toy Doll.  In our picture the Clara Toy Doll is a “sister” to the one which Bob originally presented.  Click on the images to enlarge.

And here we follow the moments in a series of images before we reveal what was contained in the neatly presented package which had arrived from Exeter, Devon, England having been purchased on eBay by Bob Emprimo having observed Michael Cashman’s alert on the Millstreet website that such a toy doll appeared on eBay.   A million thanks to Bob for never forgetting Millstreet and for adding to our important heritage.
