Presenting a RARE Vintage Blonde 20" Tall Strung Composition Doll titled "Patty Perisphere" a wonderful Souvenir from the New York World's Fair of 1939.

Elastic still stretchy in her puff sleeves and she... wears a Dark Navy Vest with front patch pockets.

Her body is Composition and she has 3 neck cracks - an open one in the back 1 1/2" x 3/4" - hair covers this one (see photo #11) and two on the right side of her head - one is 1/4" further back, and one is 3/4" (see photo #12)She has all her fingers and toes but is missing just the top of her right big toe (see photos #9, #10).Her Legs have marks and her left leg has a horizontal hairline right at the knee and a scrape on her upper left leg. She is a strung doll and the stringing could use tightening.
Her Eye color has changed with age to a gold with crazing. Her Eyebrows and Eyelashes are hand-painted and there are real? eyelashes too - her right eyelashes are missing a clump - hard to tell. Her red lipstick looks very good on her lips of her closed mouth. She even has her red nostril dots. Here blush still looks good too.
Her Blonde Hair will need a restyling but she still has some of her original curls and bobbypins.She is wearing her original gauze bodysuit too. She will need a light cleaning.
She is a wonderful and historical doll!
