Samantha Parkington was a Victorian-era doll made in 1986. She was released with Molly McIntire and Kirsten Larson. The three dolls were the first Historical Characters from American Girl Co. Samantha was archived in May of 2009 after selling out just a few months before. Samantha got a re-release in 2014 with BeForever.

Parkington’s face is designed in the classic mold. She has light skin, dark brown, wavy hair, and decal brown eyes that differ from the standard brown you find on most brown-eyed dolls. The only other American Girl with decal brown eyes in Ivy Ling. Samantha’s “Meet Outfit” is what Edwardian-era girls of her class and age would have worn during that time period. She’s worth up to $4,200 on auction sites.
