For your consideration is darling antique Flossie Flirt doll.DISCLAIMER: I had original listed this as a Baby Shirley Temple doll, someone took the time to tell me it's actually a Flossie Flirt. I know nothing about antique dolls so please ask any questions before bidding.
Flossie is approaching 90 years old and shows her age. She comes wearing a pale pink bodysuit romper thing with matching pale pink dress over it and a bonnet. The outfit shows shabby wear and has some minor stains, one fairly noticeable hole on one of the sleeves, and a smattering of smaller holes throughout. It is in typical condition for a doll this age.
Flossie's composition face, arms, and legs show wear. They have cracks ("crazing" I believe it's called), scuffs, and imperfections. I have tried to capture these flaws in the pictures. Please take the time to zoom into photo #3, I think
it's
a good representation of her facial imperfections. Given her age, she seems pretty solid, I would say! Cloth body has discoloration/staining. She appears to have a crier that doesn't work anymore. Her hair is rather matted and her age really shows when you lift her hair and look underneath. She has "Ideal" on the back of her neck in a diamond shape...it's kind of hard to see, but the last picture shows the stamp. One of her feet has discolored to white and looks a little melty.
I don't have any experience with "flirty" eyes, but as far as I can tell, hers work! She looks to the side when you tilt her head, looks straight forward if you keep her head straight, and her eyes "close" if you lay her down. Really cute!
The doll measures approximately 17 inches long. She's really darling, even though she has the love wear of a doll this age!
Again, I know nothing about these so PLEASE ask any questions BEFORE bidding. I will wrap with exceptional care for shipping so she arrives to you safely. Thanks very much!
