Description

Patsyette Vintage 9” Composition Doll, Dressed As A Dutch Girl. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
Here is the 9” version of Effanbee’s popular line of Patsy dolls, Patsyette, dating to the early 1930s. This doll has blonde hair rather than the trademark reddish brown and is dressed in her faded but original Dutch outfit. The white of her cap has yellowed but it is not completely limp. I was told these wooden shoes were original at the time of purchase, but obviously they are not! They do not quite fit, have some kind of lacing holes (one pulled thru) on the sides and are literally glued—if lightly—to her feet. She can stand on her own but the shoes want to rock her forward. She has minimal crazing and no obvious flaking, but to my eyes her coloring appears a bit faded, like the outfit. Still, Patsyette makes a cute little Dutch girl!
