Late 1950s American Character 23" BABY TOODLES with Peek-A-Boo Eyes (sometimes called Follow-Me Eyes)
 
PRISTINE -- MINT in BOX
 
Featuring PEEK-A-BOO EYES and CRIES and says 'MAMA'.
 
The poor little girl has NEVER BEEN PLAYED WITH and comes in her sturdy original box with original tissue.
 
This is the very same doll Santa Claus brought to me when I was 9 years old. I still have mine...
 
Toodles was manufactured in the last part of the 1950s, stands approx. 23" tall, and is MINT in EVERY WAY.
 
She features the remarkable PEEK-A-BOO eyes -- no matter where you are her eyes seemingly 'follow' you wherever you go, even though they do not move from side-to-side as a 'flirty eyed' doll's would. She won't let you out of her sight...
 
Her body is immaculately clean with even, unfaded pink skin tone. Her jointed vinyl body -- arms, legs, and head -- moves freely and firmly to pose her to highlight her sweet personality.
 
She has AUBURN RED curls in the original set; BIG BLUE EYES with long, full and even lashes; rosy cheeks, and rosebud 'kissed' lips.
 
Toodles is wearing her white waffle weave dress and a blue pinafore, matching ruffled bonnet, and panties. She retains her blue stripe silk socks and blue satin shoes.
 
Includes her ORIGINAL HANG TAG and price tag of $15.95.
 
An accompanying American Character comic book style booklet tells a story of Toodles and other American Character dolls for sale at that time.
