This listing is for a simply fantastic early 1949-50 strung (non-walker) Vogue Ginny "Laurey" in her original blue box with embossed hearts. Sometimes this doll's name is spelled "Laury", but I went with what was on the actual box. She truly looks like she has never been played with at all. The box is labeled correctly 8", 8-16c, Laurey, Blonde and Yellow. This doll has that wonderful matte finish that is even all over and has retained its beautiful flesh tone color with no ...fading or lightening to the plastic. There have been no retouches or repaints. She has gorgeous bright cheeks and lips, and nice brown eyebrows and eyelashes that have not faded to yellow or green. I also love her beautiful painted blue eyes. Her mohair is in excellent condition and is a gorgeous light blonde color. She has no splits, stains, or odors in her plastic. Her original plastic rubber band stringing has been replaced because it had hardened and broke with age. I have included the original rubber bands in case you wanted them. Also the rubber band that was around her head is also present but had broken and I found it in the back of her hair. This Laurey outfit is in fantastic condition and looks new. The yellow color is stunning with no fading or discolorations. The white lace is perfectly white and the bloomers have nice tight original stretch in the elastic. The fabric is crisp and the ribbon ties on the hat are perfect. The only tiny imperfection is a small pin size dot on the dress close to the bottom. You can see if it you zoom into the pictures. It is really minor and does not detract from the beauty of this dress in any way. The box is in good condition with a clearly readable label. There is some shelf wear and a little darkening where the box was taped together in the past. All together this is an excellent example of this doll that is just a special little gem to add to your collection!Please take a look at all my other listings this week.
