8” Effanbee Composition Betty Butin Nose Doll

Description

Effanbee Betty Butin Nose Composition Doll. Condition is "Used".
It’s a very rare and unusual Effanbee Betty Butin Nose doll. She depicts a Spanish Girl . She is all original , measures 8 1/2 inches tall and is incised Effanbee on her back. . This doll has a specialty face that was made for a very short time from 1938 to 1943. There is very little information about these Butin Nose Dolls.
Spanish girl is on a 6 piece all composition body with swivel head and painted features ,which are usually peeling - fortunately these are not and they’re in wonderful condition. I don’t see very much crazing . Her hair is painted black and there is some very minor rubs. All of the pieces of this dolls costume are original, including her shoes.
This doll does have some minor issues so please read on further.
* If you look closely you can see the Spanish girl is missing the tip of one finger on each hand. These arms are hard rubber and unfortunately so many of them are broken.
* Effanbee used double stick tape to attach the long socks on these dolls. You can see the residue of the tape on her thighs but the socks are loose and may possibly have been replaced or just washed. They are the right era and it’s hard to tell.
* Effanbee also used a double stick tape on the top of their heads to hold on their head pieces. You can see the tape still on this dolls head although it does not attach her mantilla any longer..
This doll has not been laundered and she is fairly clean for her age of 80+ years.
This doll will ship USPS priority mail with insurance added via a handling charge of .60 to cover the insurance. Unfortunately the US post office has raised the price considerably on shipping and much more on insurance. Due to Covid I go to the post office once or twice a week however I try to get my items out as soon as possible AFTER my account has been funded by EBay.
