DESCRIPTION: I SELL ONLY WITHIN THE U.S.  NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING OFFERED. I’m offering today an adorable and large vinyl, IDEAL baby doll, circa 1950's era .  She is a rare large size doll standing approximately 23" tall.  She is hallmarked on the back of the neck "Ideal Toy Corp., BW 20-F"  Her head, arms and legs are jointed and made of vinyl and hard plastic.  She has a bent leg style body with chubby baby legs, but can still stand quite well.   I will start at the top of her head and work my way down so as not to omit anything in my description.  Starting at the top of her head,  she has a gorgeous brown curly mohair wig, which I had to replace her original hair because previous little mommies had ripped it out and cut it.  There was no way to salvage what she had and I am particularly pleased with this ever so soft mohair wig I chose.  It feels just like a real babies head of hair.  It's easy to style by just picking the curls with your fingers and moving it around till you get it where it needs to be.  She has soft curls for bangs which come just above her eyebrows.  I designed this adorable pink satin hair bow which matches her precious handmade dress. I took wide pink satin ribbon and made a large bow.  I then cut pink elastic ribbon, which I measured to fit her head perfectly.  I then hand sewed the large pink satin bow to the top of the elastic ribbon for a perfect fit.  By doing this, it stays up high on her head and securely in place when she's wearing it.   As  you go down to her face, she has single brown line for eyebrows.  She has beautiful blue open and close sleep eyes which open and close freely.  She has her original eyelashes which have been spared from her previous little mommies scissors.   She has a dainty petite nose with open nostrils for realism which flows down to her precious open mouth.  There is a hole in the mouth for giving a bottle to, but I have no idea if it works or not.  I do not give my old dolls water or liquids for fear of doing something I shouldn't have done.  I'll leave that up to her new mommy.  There is a rattle inside her body, which could either be the water dispenser or the crier.  I have no way of knowing what it is.  Obviously, this does not detract from the doll.   I decided to make her something extra special, so I went with white and pink, of course, pink is my favorite color.  I will try to describe what I decided to make for her the best I can.  My husband tells me no one really wants to read about all the fabrics, lace and tulle netting, but I disagree.  When I'm buying an expensive doll, I want to know all about her.  Therefore, I will begin with my description.  The bodice on this dress is square cut out of pink satin fabric.  There is white tulle overlay on the bodice, which has an embroidered white floral design with white sequins sewed onto the floral pattern.  I use a lot of vintage wedding gowns to design some of my dresses and that is where this came from.  The sleeves on the dress are short and come just over her shoulder, which also have embroidered floral design over the tulle netting.  As you go around to the back side of the dress, there is a zipper for easy removal.  Back around to the front of the dress, I made a large pink satin bow, which I attached off to one side.   It's actually across from the floral design so as not to take away from the lovely flowers and sequins.  There are several layers of white tulle netting for her skirt.  I made a crinoline with heavy white tulle netting for added fullness.  She is wearing pink cotton panties under the many layers of white tulle.  She is wearing white Mary Jane shoes with pink satin ribbon bows to match with her pink socks with ruffled pink satin trim.  Her shoes are vintage, but have never been worn by another doll.  I think she is a beautiful doll and one which you will never see another one like her.   I think she looks adorable and I hope you do too! My dolls are not played with by children who come and visit; I know that sounds mean, but sometimes they play too rough.  My dolls are kept in a doll room specifically for them and are displayed for everyone to enjoy.  All my dolls are truly loved and cared for as though they were my children.  Their clothes are either original to the doll, made by me, or I've tried finding doll clothing from the same era as the doll or find clothing which match the personality of the doll.  We do not smoke and I try very hard to keep a tidy clean home free of dust and odor.  My dolls are clean and most of the time look as though they did when they were sold new.  Depending on how old they are, I do try to be honest in detailing if some of the dolls have bruises, missing toes or fingers or other issues, but that doesn't mean they aren't worth having; for each one is like children.....they are all beautiful in their mothers eyes.  If I've missed something it would never be intentional.   SIZE: This vintage baby doll is a larger doll measuring approximately 23" tall.   CONDITION: This doll is vintage, but in what I would consider good condition.  Her body has been cleaned and sanitized.  Her hair was replaced with this beautiful curly brown mohair wig.   Her eyes do open and close freely.  She has her original eyelashes.  She has all her fingers and toes.  Her beautiful dress was designed and created just for her.  Her socks are new and her Mary Jane shoes are vintage, but have never been worn by another doll.  They come from my personal doll shoe collection.  The photos really tell the story about this doll.  She is a beautiful doll and one of a kind.  Please view complete set of photos for thorough description.  I hope you can take a few minutes to look at my other dolls.  God bless you.  Connie  
  • Condition: Used
  • Condition: PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY OTHER DOLLS - This is a large, beautiful vinyl baby doll, circa 1950's era by Ideal Doll Co. She has large open/close blue eyes, which open and close freely. She has a beautiful curly brown mohair wig which I had to replace because her previous little mommies tore her hair out. I personally like the way this soft mohair frames her face with curly "Q's". It feels more like real baby hair; soft and easy to style. As you can see, it's quite lovely. She's wearing a 2 piece pink/white polka dot dress and coat and ready for spring. She's even more prettier in person than in the photograph. She's completely ready to be displayed.
