Antique 1940s 14 " All Composition Sweet Faced VTG Orig Doll Arranbee Alexander
Item History & Price
Pretty little 15" 1940's all composition sweet almost sad faced doll, either an early Arranbee, Alexander or possibly Effanbee. Many of these compos were unmarked and she does resemble some of the pictures in books. She is jointed at the neck, shoulder, and hip, and as far as I can tell unmarked although it does look like some faint letters may be present.
Her face is beautiful with rose to the cheeks, sweet small rosebud closed mouth, and shiny big brown work...ing sleep eyes with half missing lashes on 1 eye and full lashes on the other. All facial paint is present with very little light crazing. Just a great face.
Her brown soft original mohair wig still holds the original set and although a bit thin at the back, still covers. No neck or head cracks. Check all the pictures well as they are an important part of the description.
She wears a pink taffeta long gown with square neck, ruffles and flowers at wrist. The skirt if gored with a center gore at the back with ruffles all the way down. There is a snap closure. I found her a cute vintage pink hat. Under that is a crepe long full slip and a silk teddy. She has on her vtg. silver shoes with ties present. I find no damage on clothing. There is one small spot on riht skirt side front about half way down.
Body is good with some light crazing. Check pictures. No missing paint. All fingers and toes present and fine. Body is good with no seam cracks. The crotch has what looks like a factory flaw and a little hole in right leg near crotch. Shown in picture. Knees are rosy. Non smoking home.
Questions welcome and please check my other items for more dolls and doll things. Any information on the doll would be welcome. Thanks for looking.
