Beautiful vintage/antique/character baby doll, likely dating from the 1930s to the 1940s. It features a molded composition head with painted brown hair, a soft stuffed cloth body, and charming weighted blue "sleeping" eyes that open and close smoothly. The face is highly detailed with classic painted eyelashes, red accent nostril markings, and a molded open mouth displaying two tiny upper teeth. The cloth feet feature lovely molded toes with factory-painted red toenail details. This doll has been loved and shows normal signs of age, adding to its vintage character The composition head is in good structural condition with bright facial paint. There is light surface crazing and minor paint wear on the back of the molded hair as pictured, plus minor stray marks on the cheeks. The stuffed torso is firm and intact but has prominent water/liquid staining on the front chest area. The limbs are attached with vintage metal joints. The fabric seam at the upper left shoulder has frayed/come unraveled and will need a quick stitch to secure it. There is wear and thinning on the fabric of one hand with a small hole showing stuffing. The lower legs/feet show some light brown foxing spots from age. The doll comes dressed exactly as pictured in a beautiful pink tulle dress with silver stars, a matching pink hand knitted ruffle cardigan, and pink baby shoes. This outfit displays her beautifully and completely covers the body wear
