Description

Flirty eyes & Molded Curls! Cute Vintage Effanbee Composition Doll, 18”.
I think of this doll as a boy named Mickey, because the first doll I met with this head mold and sleep eyes that also move side-to-side was called that, but these dolls have also been called Bright Eyes, Sweetie Pie and Tommy Tucker. This pretty boy is 18” long, with a flange head, full composition arms and straight legs on a firm cloth body. His is in nice condition, with original face paint, and clear grey-blue eyes with full lashes that still glance from one side to the other as you move him. His body has some foxing but no rip, stains or odors. I believe he has had some minor restoration work done to seal bad crazing/cracks on his legs and feet, but it is well done with minimal over-painting. I don’t see this on his arms or head. He is wearing a simple and faded cotton romper that is a bit small on him. He would look great in something closer to the knit shirt and corduroy overalls he likely wore originally!
