I, too, have had my Emerald Witch doll since I got her for Christmas in 1972. She no longer flickers, and doesn’t have her hat and shoes. I can still hear the announcer’s voice on the TV commercial: “Her eyes light up when you give her a jiggle. She’s Emerald the Witch Doll”. I remember begging my mom for one and being so happy finding her under the tree on Christmas morning. She is currently a part of my Halloween decor. God Bless the 70s and dolls like Emerald.

I have an answer for Emerald’s accessories. :) There were 3 small items called “witching tricks” that were originally sold separately on a cards. She had a cauldron with removable lid which held a tiny alligator & rat inside (I think the inside of the cauldron flipped to show one or the other); a crystal ball with a wheel in the base that showed different pictures inside the ball; and a flower in a pot that “grew” probably by pulling on it. All 3 of these items are extremely hard to find. She also had the Haunted House carrying case, as mentioned above. I have a trade catalog page showing the Emerald doll line and a pink car is pictured, but no cars have turned up on the second hand market so it’s likely that it was only a prototpye. I’ve been collecting Emerald Witch for the last 13 years, and as far as I can tell these are the only pieces ever made for her (other than the 6 outfits, of course).

I wanted to share my Emerald story.

Mine was bought for me in the 70s, and I’ve always loved her. I cut and styled her hair (yes, heat does frizz) and despite my Mama’s warnings I took Emerald in the bath with me so she lost her eye flash. I didn’t and still don’t care, as I’ve said I have Emerald still and she’s well loved to this day. She evacuated from Katrina, for instance ;-)

Now that I know there is stuff available for Emerald, I’d like to try to replace her black hat and booties, and I have a beret/chef’s-hat-looking hat and a little dress that had some red boots.

Thanks for the information on how to care for Emerald

Audrey:
I am sorry but I have no clue about the other Emerald Witch items because the only I have related to her is the doll herself. ;) So I am terribly sorry I can’t help you further with information/value.

Brian: I will photograph and send to your email.

I just picked up a emerald witch in excellent condition and took her head off with no problem to clean her good, when I tried to put the head back on I damaged the light bulb. FYI. I just bought some 1.1V miniature thru bulbs.com, SKU C335. Hope that helps. My question is I got the carrying case also with the cauldron and pop up plant. What in the world does the plant do. I noticed that when you pull the base down the petals fold up and go down, what in the world does the green petals do? They have a split on both sides. I also have no idea what the worth of the carrying case is because I will be listing it. TY for any future help.

I have very sad news to report….a dispicable villian stole my Emerald from the doll case in my livingroom within the last 4 months. :(~ I believe I know who stole it and will be filing a report tomorrow. I live in Calvert County, MD. I picked my Emerald dolll out from all the others at the ToysRUs located in Marlow Heights on my 8th birthday. I have held onto her and loved her through all my childhood family troubles – evictions and multiple moves – and to lose her to a drug addict needing to/sell her for drugs breaks my heart. I hope by some miracle I can recover her. In the mean time, I am bidding on one of her sisters on Ebay. Please wish me luck on both efforts.

I have an Emerald the Witch doll , her case and an extra outfit. My daughter, who is now 41 got her for Christmas 1972. That is all she kept asking for. I live in a small town , Crisfield, Md., and tried everywhere to get her. Finally found one on the Western Shore of MD. in a Toys R Us in Baltimore. She cost $2.98. Her outfit was also $2.98 I ordered her case out of a catalog and that was $11.98. I have used her as a decoration for Halloween in the past.

I am so happy that someone remembers this doll! I still have her but I lost her clothes and the battery back. I got it for my birthday and I remember my parents had to mail away for it. Thanks for this post! I love her.
