The Royal Baby hubbub has swag-pushers on overdrive. Expect London store shelves filled with decorative plates, golden thimbles and commemorative scrunchies when Baby Cambridge arrives.
Before Royal Baby enthusiasts stuff their pockets with celebratory goodies, however, they can prepare with vintage merchandise from Prince William's birth. Back in the early 1980s, celebrating a royal birth required tableware and dolls -- lots and lots of dolls.
