5 day auction ONLY—I have used the reference ...book, American Character Dolls, Identification and Price Guide by Judith Izen as the main reference for myToni auctions. I havehad this original Toni box in my Toni collection for several years. It is for the 10 ½” doll made by the American CharacterCorp. somewhere between 1958-1960. The top is marked: ‘The Toni Doll with RootedHair’, on end is marked: ‘Style A300/ TheToni Doll/ with Rooted Hair/ For your Toni doll use only Play Wave Solutionnever home permanent solution’, one side is marked: ‘Made and printed in U SAmerica – package design by Alan Berni & Assoc. Inc.’ The end of the box is marked ‘blond’ toindicate the hair color of the doll that was inside. Inside you will find the original pink tissue that has wrinkledand has one tiny hole—I don’t see any tears, but I didn’t open it up. As you can see, the box is in very worncondition with tears, split sides, worn edges/corners, etc. Please check the pictures for the damage.Fromwhat I have read, the Toni doll was sold wearing their chemise/brassalette. I don’t know which accessories were includedwith each year’s production line. Theset may or may not be complete and I have added a pair of hose which are notmentioned in the above reference. Thebrassalette is in very nice condition. The pink net is still crisp with no holes or tears. There are no missing stitches, stains orholes in the body of the item. The bodyfabric may be darker than it was when it was new and the bra cups are dingy—a soakin Biz or OxyClean may clean it up. Theelastic on the upper back edge is no longer stretchy.I have alsoincluded in this auction the following items: -- the ribbon headband thatToni wore when she was purchased (looks like it was not untied, justslipped off of her head as you see it now—it has darkened with age), -- a Toni PlayWave Set bottle (empty) with sponge applicator, -- 4 original rubber curlers, -- pink/clear plastic Play Wave case (handle has come off), comb (unmarked), --black plastic closed-toe high heel pumps Thereference above does not mention that nylon hose were included in this ‘basic’outfit that Toni was bought in. However, I have included a matching pair. They donot have holes or runs. I am notpositive that these are actually ‘Toni’ hose but may be from another fashiondoll of the same era. *** Theseitems came to me through an ebay purchases.
