Vintage 1950s Madame Alexander Cissy Doll Blonde Hair Aquamarine Blue Eyes Nude
Item History & Price
Vintage 1950s Madame Alexander Cissy Doll Blonde Hair Aquamarine Blue Eyes Nude. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
I purchased the lovely Cissy from an estate. She was a play doll, but was well taken care of and carefully stored. She has pretty face and gorgeous aqua blue eyes. Her wig is nice, but she could use a fresh style. She is missing some lashes, particularly on her right eye. Stringing is tight. She has some minor scratches on her face and body which you c...an see in the photos. There is a small amount of seam separation at the crotch. Her knees bend, but I didn’t force them to bend all the way as they are somewhat stiff. There is some fine gray powder from where the head meets the neck. I was concerned about this and consulted the Facebook group Vintage Madame Alexander Doll Collector to find out about it. Susan Wells Roberts, an expert on Cissy (and one of the contributors to the book “Cissy! Reference, Rarities, and Restoration”), eased my mind with her response. According to her, it is debris from corrosion on the metal eye weight. She recommended leaving it alone as she herself does 99.9% of the time. If you are a member of the Facebook group, you can see the entire conversation. (I posted my question on July 16, 2019.)Please see photos for condition details. These are part of the description. Items are sold as is. No returns. I am happy to answer your questions and provide additional photos!
