Vintage Ideal Patti Playpal Doll 1960s Life Size 35 " One Adult Collector
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:580962 |
----This doll is one of hundreds of dolls we bought from an adult lady collector downsizing her estate. We will list nine more Patti dolls from the same collection in the upcoming week. She was stored in a pet and smoke free home. She is stunning with her incredible long hair and unclouded bright eyes. ----
----Please note, she is very fresh, clean, and lovely for a 50+ year-old Patti doll. The doll's hair is all rooted and not a wig. I asked my mother-in-law, with 50 years of doll restoration, and she really went over the doll's hair visually. The hair is not missing any plugs and appears it is a rerooting from the 1970s. The spit curls are unique and frame her face so beautifully. She would need a good brushing through to display, before I took her out in the wind her brushed through beautifully. ----
---Patti's hair is uncut, one length, and full with no obvious missing plugs. She has the fullest, longest, and thickest hair I have seen. It is in need of restyling after her photo session outside on a windy day. Her hair would best be displayed with a section pulled up in a bow, or leave long. Her hair is tangle free on the top layer, but you will need to brush on the bottom layer. I did not want to pull out her hair.----
---She was owned by an adult lady collector. She is one of 10 Patti dolls we will list. She shows signs of age related wear. She was never played with by a young child, but she was dressed and undressed and put on display.---
---The doll is free of any damage, cracks, chew marks, punctures, or blemishes. She shows no splits to her plastic anywhere. She is absolutely free of any noticeable damage; however, she does show more than several marks on her elbows, hands, and fingers. I will let the future owner resolve these marks. She did respond well to a stain and mark remover, but it did leave a citrus scent which is now not noticeable. We will pack her with ample bubble wrap and packing paper to ensure she arrives complete and as pictured.---
--Patti shows no obvious detracting negative issues. Her arms will hold a pose beautifully; her arms are incredibly tight and well connected. Her arms are tight! Her legs are well connected, and I noticed no looseness. She can not stand on her own without a doll stand. We will not ship her doll stand. Her head holds a pose, but at some point she will need restringing. Her head does not droop and can stay upright, but it will move and pose.-----
----This doll was purchased and returned. The buyer claimed that she did not notice that the head poses and has a wide range of movements. Please be aware that she was cleaned because the customer did smoke in her house. I am highly sensitive to cigarette smoke odors, and I no longer smell cigarette smells.----
-----She does show age related wear. I do notice minor scratches on her. She does show some manufacturer plastic mold seams and lines. She shows one minor unnoticeable flaw of a dot on her right eyelid, but the rest of the eyelids are complete and painted. Her eyelashes are complete and pretty.---
---The doll was stored in a cool dark room in the original owner's pet and smoke free house. We have kept her inside in ideal conditions. She will truly receive careful and mindful handling and packaging. ---
---Her dress is fresh and crisp. It shows no noticeable age or discoloration. The elastic in the sleeves are totally loose. Her tights are bright and white, but they are loose on the top. Her clothing is all ready for display, but I am sure you will enjoy replacing her wardrobe. I am sure you will want to launder her dress, but I noticed no dirt, grime, or stains. You will enjoy giving her a new wardrobe. Her three dress buttons are well attached.---
---Her intact eyelashes are full and lovely. Her bright eyes are clear and unclouded. Her coloring is amazing. Her blush is nice and even with no rubs or uneven areas. She is lovely, and I am ready to send more photos of your new potential companion.---
---We will not ship her to Alaska or Hawaii due to the long shipping delivery time. We will not offer our usual ebay global shipping program.---
