Auction #13 | |
Vintage 1950's hard plastic twenty-one inch Pedigree
type doll - marked Made in England on her back - and she is gorgeous!!
- we believe her to be an unmarked Pedigree doll, as many of
these dolls were marked in this way during the 1950's to be sold
in department stores - she retains her original peachy skin colour
all over her body, and gorgeous original blush to her cheeks
- she has the original eyelashes on one eye and 90% original
on the other eye and rest has been replaced, but it's hard to
see which is which!! - she has blue flirty eyes which open and
shut well - this doll has a working 'mama' with the marking 20T
on her mama grille, and this cries loud and strong when she is
tilted back and forth - her walking action is smooth and her
head turns when her legs move - she has a brand new wig which
can be restyled in many different ways, but at the moment it
is in the pigtail style with three gorgeous ringlets - she does
retain her original sparse blonde wig underneath the new wig
- notes on the condition (1) she has one small filled seam separation
on the side of her neck, but this cannot be seen with her new
wig (2) she has one hairline going down from one eye which again
is quite common for these dolls (3) there is also has a small
crack above one leg joint - however, these minor things do not
detract from her at all - the doll is a real beauty and will
be sadly missed - she comes dressed to you in one of "Dollysisters"
creations in a gorgeous sheer pink fabric with gold and white
dots over it, and this consists of a bonnet, dress and matching
panties - the dress is lined with pink organza material, and
has delicate pink satin rosebuds on the bodice with white insertion
lace - there is also a beautiful matching bonnet to complete
the ensemble - she is wearing brand new white edge lace socks
and new Mary Jane pink shoes - she is waiting to go to her new
