The Grovian Doll Museum’s Bébé Charity is not only a lovely example of the size 4 Bru mold, but she also possesses an interesting history. Charity was dropped off at a Salvation Army benefit shop during the depths of the Great Depression. The doll was instantly rescued by an early collector. In an interesting twist, her rescuer just happened to be the very individual who provided the concept of the benefit shops to the Salvation Army in the first place. Bébé Charity came to The Grovian as part of an immense collection, which was sold for charitable purposes in its entirety, thus providing the inspiration for her name. The Salvation Army continues, to this day, to provide relief to those in need.
