WELCOME to my ebay store:
THIS is an absolutely GORGEOUS doll! LOOK at that face!! People who see her in my dining room remark HOW PRETTY she is and they are RIGHT.
I am selling this wonderful and RARE tall (35/36") Madame Alexander Doll for the original owner. She is a Mdme ALEXANDER 'JANIE' doll, which I believe was the precursor to IDEAL'S Patti Play Pal doll, which was cute but definitly not as PRETTY as Janie. She was made in 1959. AND in remarkable condition ...considering. Keep in mind this doll is 60 years old! Soft plastic, may have some wear but no major issues as you can see. Her shoes and socks protect her feet.
This doll is marked on back of neck. See photo: Alexander 36 1959PLEASE see all the photos to appreciate this stunner!
She displays beautifully. I think this is the Prettiest face on any play pal type doll I have ever seen , much prettier than the Nurse JOANIE version, and she is not to be confused with that same size ALEXANDER JOANIE/Nurse Joanie, this is called JANIE type. Totally different face.
She is very clean, has gorgeous rare DARK brown hair that positively sets off those big blue green sleep eyes. An ebayer sent me a photo of HER Janie doll with blonde hair same pretty face. The original dress is similar in color but SHORTER than this one and had a pinafore.
No discoloring on body or limbs, extremely minor if any scuffs, she looks marvelous! Arms have been restrung but as usual one arm is a bit looser due to wear inside hardware, but they both stay UP and DOWN when posed. To prevent damage to arm hooks-- they are pretty tight but not overly tight stringing. I have noticed one arm being loose is a typical age related issue with these dolls.
The rooted hair is full and has some trimming on back--that may have been factory trimmed or trimmed by the owner when she was young, so hard to tell and she doesn't remember. I've seen a few of these dolls on ebay that sold and all seem to have the same length of bangs so I don't think they were trimmed.The hair can be pulled into two pigtails, or pulled back at sides etc. I am including a couple sets of these wonderful GOODY brand vintage style plastic barrettes for buyer to play with.
At the moment she has two turquoise plastic flower barrettes holding back the front hair back just a bit. Her hair is VERY thick, has been cleaned and detangled completely.The hair clips are authentic in style and look wonderful with that AMAZING vintage dress. The tags on dress are for a vintage 1960s POLLY FLINDERS size 4T . If it was ever worn it was very gently worn! It is 50% cotton, 50% polyester. No rips or stains and has wonderful smocking and flower detail. Buyer can shorten the dress if desired.It is a replacement dress from same period, slightly later, that we spent months searching for and purchased from an ebay seller of vintage clothes, to totally MAKE this girl perfect. Since doll owner could not find original clothes, we painstakingly searched out ALL new but period authentic items, from dress to underwear!She is wearing White cotton hanes brand new briefs. Bag of extra panties included!Her sleep eyes work, but I noticed her left eye is a bit lazy in comparison to right but with a little movement it seems to get in line. VERY minor issue.Her new socks have frilly trim.
Her New shoes are made specifically for Patti Play Pal type dolls by an ebay seller.
THIS doll is being sold fully loaded and ready to display! Buyer will NOT need to do anything! With proper posing of her shoes she can stand independently, see pics.She is not fragile like a porcelain doll so there will be some options for shipping. I have a UPS biz account so I will offer that as well as USPS priority and ground.Shipping is strictly by weight and dimension of box to your zip code, plus actual fee for insurance. Of course being 3 ft tall she will be in a box that is 38" tall to allow a bit of headroom. ALL items are shipped insured FULL VALUE. International buyers: IF insurance fee is LESS THAN the 10. charge I will refund difference. I charge ACTUAL shipping cost.
Overseas will have to be Priority international due to weight and size. PLUS insurance fee.ALL ITEMS ship from MY smoke free home same day as payment received and due to dimensions and weight.
Do see my store for awesome antiques from DOLLS to porcelain! Thanks for stopping in, positive feedback is greatly appreciated and ALWAYS reciprocated.
