Item description:

This lot offers a charming mid-20th-century composition girl doll standing approximately 16 inches tall. The doll features molded and painted light brown hair adorned with a molded blue bow, hand-painted blue eyes, and delicately blushed cheeks. She wears a classic red floral-print pinafore dress over a cream colored blouse, both likely original to the era, secured at the back with pins and a metal fastener. The doll’s costume is complemented by white socks and cream-colored shoes fastened with lace tassels, showing minor age wear.

The rigid pose and stylized facial features suggest manufacture in the 1940s–1950s. There are no visible maker’s marks or manufacturer’s labels, enhancing its air of authenticity as a period play doll.

This piece shows slight age-related wear, primarily gentle surface marks and some fabric aging on the clothing, but it remains visually appealing to collectors of early doll forms or those interested in mid-century childhood memorabilia.
