1930s FAO Schwarz Magnetic Hands Effanbee Composition Patsy / Patricia in Pink
Extremely rare all original 16" Patricia doll from the Effanbee Patsy Family collection of dolls.
What makes her so special:
- Magnetic hands
- Blue side-glancing eyes with HEART pupils
- Still has original accessories / Ditty Bag
This lovely young girl has the MAGIC of magnetic hands that allows her to hold any object with an attached metal clip or washer. Here I have her holding the CORRECT 48 Star American Flag ... something she is very proud of, especially these days. I will add the metal clip to the flag to allow her to hold it with her magnets prior to shipping.
Magnetic hands Patricia comes with her ORIGINAL 'windowpane' fabric 'ditty bag' to hold her original carpet sweeper, and whisk broom. You can add to her repetoire of accessories on your own with instructions for doing so easily that I will include in your box.
This doll is straight out of the WWI era when everyone pitched in to support the effort.
Patricia is doing her part... FAO Schwarz issued this RARE doll to support the times. Patricia is the 'older sister' version of the Patsy doll having a pre-teen developed figure with slender legs and arms... and a waist. She retains the original Patsy head with beautiful blue side-glancing eyes with the VERY VERY RARE HEART SHAPED PUPILS.
She is nearly MINT -- just about FLAWLESS with only very very light intermittent craze lines.
Her clothing is vibrant, unfaded pink 'shadow print' organdy fabric; still crisp and lovely. She is appropriately marked on her back: "Effanbee / Patricia" and "Effanbee / Patsy" on the nape of her neck.
She has NO RESTORATION and no repaint. Her face has lovely coloring against her beautiful auburn molded hair.
See her identical twin sister wearing her blue dress in my other shop listing.
