It's kind of sad that the store owner passed away, but it sounds like she got to do what she loved for a lot of years!
I imagine some real treasures were snapped up over the past several weeks as prices were lowered. You certainly found some unusual and classic toys from the '60s and '70s! The Sketchy doll reminds me of the clockwork automatons from ye olden dayes! And Charmin' Chatty, with her little records, reminds me of a toy telephone my brother got for Christmas when he was very young. You could put different records in the phone and have conversations with different characters. I remember a favorite being a conversation with Santa Claus. I hope you are able to find some of Charmin' Chatty's records, and that her mechanism still works!
It's such fun that you were able to find some treasures to add to your collection at such reasonable prices!
And that Barbie alarm clock is too cool!

They're not dolls, they're action figures!
