Amazing and rare 1930s Ideal Toy Co 15" Betsy Wetsy Doll in retail box. Beautiful high color and MINT condition head, original diaper, dress set, slip and booties. Original extra outfit -- pajamas and robe.
 
Gold Foil Hang Tag included~
 
This little beauty does not come around but once in a Blue Moon, and found in her original retail box with her original clothes and hang tag... "over the top".
 
Betsy was issued from the 1930s through the early 1960s. This is her original conception designed by Bernard Lipfert, the infamous creator of some of the most life-like and hence very popular dolls of that era. Simply stunning.
 
Betsy Wetsy here was produced at the same time as the hey-day of Dy-Dee by Effanbee. They have similar attributes and were both extremely well-received by little girls for play and nurturing. Betsy Wetsy is a drink-and-wet baby doll, and I includes her ORIGINAL IDEAL marked GLASS NURSING BOTTLE with mint rubber nipple (shown in 2nd photo in her box). She has a REPLACED rubber body that is in excellent condition, soft and supple, with only some light wear to finger tips. All joints move smoothly; the body is a perfect fit replacement in size and proportion.
 
Betsy Wetsy has a vibrant, high-color face with dark chocolate molded curls. All facial features are intact. Betsy has dark brown eyes with full, thick and even brush lashes; her eyes open and close with no receding and smoothly. There are NO RUBS to her face at all... any perceived rubs are flashback from the camera.
 
Betsy's dress, bonnet and slip had never been laundered and was in crisp unused condition, but was soiled enough to prompt a good cleaning and pressing, and she is presented now as you see her... clean and ready for display. She has her original pajamas and robe in good played with condition.
 
Her original display box is in good condition with expected soiling; the label on the end and the retail banner included are special to her origins.
