Very Rare Madame Alexander 30 " BETTY Playpal Doll Made 1 Year
Item History & Price
A Rare Madame Alexander vintage BETTY Playpal doll 30" tall who is in a tagged vintage Neiman Marcus dress and pinafore. She may have been a store special. She is very hard to find.
Her dark brunette almost black rooted Saran hair is thick and full and easy to brush and style. Her hazel sleep eyes are flirty and she has thick curled dark eyelashes. She has a joyous expression with a cute watermelon smile.
She has a walking mechanism and is quit...e tightly strung so I have not tried to get her to walk. You have to tilt her to the side a bit to get her eyes to flirt. She can sit well.
Her green organdy dress is tagged Neiman Marcus and the white pinafore is in beautiful condition as is the dress. She also has a full antique organdy slip.
She wears white baby tights and white shoes.
Her legs are lighter than her torso and there is some uneven pink color as shown in the photo on part of each leg.
She is such a rare doll that in my 20 years of doll collecting, I have never seen a Betty Playpal doll by Madame Alexander. She looks exactly like Joanie, but she is 30"and Joanie is 36".
Doll marked ALEXANDER 1959 on neck. BETTY was only made for 1 year. The Patti's were much more popular at that time and Ideal had flooded the market with them, but Betty is truly a rare, high quality playpal doll.
