Description
DescriptionI've fallen head over heels in love with this adorable doll! She's an American Character Toodles doll and she comes with her original dress, slip and bonnet as well as the following non-original items: shoes (I'm sure there's a way to properly tie those shoes, but I do not know how to do it!), topper 2pc outfit and vintage barrette. Toodles measures approx. 21" long and has flirty eyes with long lashes. She has the signature mop of curls on the top left of her head. She is marked, "Amer. Char. Doll Corp." on the back of her neck. **NOTE: this Toodles doll is NOT articulated at the elbows and knees.
This is a heavy doll, so shipping may be on the pricey side.
DOLL CONDITION: I think this doll will display beautifully, though if you are looking for *perfect*, than she is not for you. Soil/marks/stains are present, including a larger stain on her lower left leg (see 9th pic). Cleaning may be necessary or desired. Various kinds of wear is also present, including some rubs/scuffs on her face. The wear may not be visible in the pics, but IS present. Lashes for the right eye seem to me to be a little sparse in one section.
CLOTHING CONDITION: I think her delicate, original outfit displays nicely, but it is by no means perfect. Some degree of soil is present, so cleaning may be necessary or desired. The pink colors in the dress has faded unevenly. The same for the bonnet and it's ribbons. Elastic on dress sleeves is no longer stretchy. There is a tear just below the opening in the back of the dress (see 12th pic) and some tiny, pin-sized holes underneath the ribbon in front (some, though not all, are shown in pic #11). Tiny, pin-sized hole on back of bonnet. The slip also has some tearing around the button holes (not shown, but IS present). Shoes and blue topper are in nice condition. Blue print panties have soil.
*Blanket was used for display purposes only and is not included.
