Here we have two (2) vintage 15" tall 1930s or 1940s Dy-Dee Baby dolls by Effanbee. They have hard plastic heads and applied rubber ears and they do not have tear ducts. Sleep eyes. Rubber strung bodies. The one with the caracul wig has joints that are ...rather loose but with creativity and patience she can be posed and displayed. Her head/face show age and wear as can be seen in the photos but her body coloring is good with minimal crazing to the rubber and not a lot of wear to fingers and toes. The wig does show some wear but overall is good and still glued down firm. Her eyes look pretty good with thick lashes and they open and close as they should. Ears look pretty good. I do not know if she can still drink and wet. The molded hair one also shows wear and age to her head, but her joints are very nice and tight and she does not need to be restrung. Her rubber body coloring has darkened from age but the condition of the rubber is very nice and sturdy with little to no crazing. Very little wear to fingers and toes. Her eyes still open and close but sometimes the right eye settles a little further back into the socket than the left and you have to fiddle with her to get it to come forward again. Thick eyelashes. Ears look quite good. I do not know is she can still drink or wet, either. Both dolls come with vintage clothes and I do not know if the clothes are original or not. Both dolls and their clothes need to be cleaned...no foul odors or smoke smell...just "old" and needs to be cleaned up for display. If you do proper restoration these would probably come out super great. These are very cute dolls! Thanks for looking!
