Manufacturer: Mattel
original price: $ 10-18 *
Current value: $ 300 *

Although Chatty Kathy dolls did not reach the same worldwide popularity as Barbie, they were still one of Mattel's most popular toys for a while. Made by Ruth and Elliot Handler for Mattel, Chatty Kathy was a talking wind-up doll that was sold between 1959 and 1965. The doll's retail price was US$ 18, but many stores sold it for US$ 10 or less.

Chatty Cathy was the second most popular doll of the sixties (behind, of course, Barbie). She underwent a few styling changes, but the first Chatty Kathy had blonde hair in a bob cut. You can get up to US$ 300 by reselling your Chatty Kathy on auction sites like eBay.
