Description
This was my favorite doll in 1972. She had a pink watch and "mommy" got one too. When you turned her watch to different times and pulled her string she would say things like "12:00, time to eat lunch". She also had pink plastic accessories so you could feed her and give her a nap etc.

I had a timey tell doll in fact I still have it and it was one of my least favorite dolls. It was really hard and not at all cuddly. It was very annoying when it talked.
Timey Tell was my favorite doll in 1972. Everywhere i went, she went. A few years back, i found her on ebay, in the box, with all of her accessories and clothes. She looks brand new. Her previous owner rarely played with her. Unfortunately, the pullstring is not working. Even so, she brings me much joy and i love to see the little girls in my family play with her (under close supervision of course!)
I loved my Timey Tell. She had the nicest blonde hair. I played with her until the string broke and she couldn't talk anymore. I remember begging Santa Claus for her and was ecstatic when I opened the box with her in it!
I couldn't tell time worth beans when I was 6, so my parents got me this doll, I loved it. and now 39 years later I still have her, and yes I can now tell time!
Loved this doll and have great memories as a 4 yr old having tea parties with her and consulting her for the time....Would love to buy one for my daughter!
I had a Timey Tell doll has a child and gave it to my friend when their house was destroyed by fire. I have thought about this doll for a lot of years. Imagine my suprise when I went to a second hand store last week and bought her for 7.99. She is perfect except pull string not working.
I too loved my timey tell doll. I never changed her name it was always my timey baby!! I saved till I could by her with my own money I was maybe 5 or 6 years old and I think about those times often.
I STILL HAVE MY TIMEY TELL DOLL....WHICH I LOVED AS A LITTLE GIRL....LIKE MOST OTHERS,MINE DOESN'T TALK ANY MORE...THE LOOP FOR THE PULL CORD BROKE OFF MANY YEARS AGO. TERRY, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF YOUR LEAST FAVORITE DOLL....I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE IT OFF YOUR HANDS!
I asked Santa for a Timey Tell and got Flip Wilson/Geraldine instead! Pull his string and it would insult me with things like, "The ugly people know who they are, don't they..." You spoiled girls actually got Timey Tell!? I'm jealous!
I would love to get a timey tell doll for my daughter. She is 43, and still talks about her timey tell doll. Anyone know where I can locate one.
I wish I still had my timey tell doll. There is a Christmas Pic of my brother opening a gift under the tree which had a ton of still unopened gifts and in the background you see me about four years old playing with the doll. No clue and could care less that there were more gifts to open. I want that doll again!
I loved my Timey Tell too. I cut mine and her hair when I was about 4 years old so she looked a little different than the other Timey's.

I am looking for Timey Tell shoes, Barrett's, and accessories. I already have her clothes and watch.
I have the Timey Tell Dress and Shoes still I think...
Oh , how I loved her so. I wish I still had her.
Wow...I thought I was the only Timey Tell lover. The only doll I really loved was my Timey Tell. She was the only doll to ever wear a watch and tell time. Here I am now, and I am a Watch Collector, many of them luxury watches such as Cartier, Omega, TAG Heuer, Maurice Lacroix, Rolex, Movado, etc. And it all began with Timey Tell...
If I remember correctly you need the "Mommy" watch for her to talk you are supposed to set both watches to the time and then pull her string so find a doll with the "Mommy" watch and you should be in business
I never had one, but a girl in my first grade class named Cynthia did. She brought it in for Show & Tell, and we all loved taking turns playing w/ it.
I found one today at a 2nd hand store for $3! She has her watch & original dress & the pull cord but she doesn't talk. I had never heard of a Timey Tell doll before today. She needs a good clean but I can't wait to pretty her up!
does any one know any of Timey Tell's sayings? I only remember "Lets play ring toss at 10"
I still have my Timey Tell doll. She no longer speaks and her dress was long lost (she is actually wearing one of my baby dresses now) but I would never dream of letting her go. And not only did I learn to tell time with her but I am a bit of a watch hoarder too, unless it is normal to have 50 or so watches. :)
This was the most amazing doll my 7 year old eyes had evey seen, and yes i still have her shes on my dresser now. she taught me to tell time, and was my best friend for years.
I got my Timey Tell doll when I was 2 years old in 1971 and I still have it with its original everything.
She used to say "we play ring toss at ten that's now". Cann anyone remember any of the others
In the early 70's I got the white Timey Tell and eventually gave her away. I was able to purchase a talking African American one and I don't remember them existing back in the 70's. her watch isn't accurate anymore, but I love her anyway.
