Rare 1930 Effanbee LAMKINS Lambkins 16" Composition Doll
THE Royal PRINCESS HAS ARRIVED... another lovely Lambkins from my personal collection~
Near MINT in her ORIGINAL RARE Pink silk dress set.
It's a pleasure to list this MARVELOUS WONDER DOLL by Effanbee. This is the 16" LAMBKIN / LAMKIN from 1930 -- darling baby doll is in near MINT condition with NO CRAZING at all -- one of the nicest I have ever seen. She comes to you in her pink silk short gown with matching slip, added underslip, added bonnet, underwear, and new booties.
LAMBKINS is appropriately marked on the back of her neck, as spelled with a 'b', where her presentation box (not included) interestingly spelled her name without the 'b' as LAMKIN and without the 's' as well. She has 5-part composition limbs and head with a softly stuffed body that drapes and shapes to an infant's needs to fully express herself! She is SOFT.. a very CUDDLY body that has been replaced from the original pattern in a lovely shade of pink cotton.
FACT ALERT: DID YOU KNOW... many collector's are unaware of her unusual feature -- a unique mechanism allows the doll mother to place Lambkin on her right side with HER EYES OPEN !! Lambkins can be placed in various natural positions.
Baby Lambkin comes wearing her pink silk short gown, matching slip, extra pink cotton undreslip, bonnet, flannel undershirt/diaper combination, and a creamy antique white 100% wool weave layette blanket with pastel embroidered flowers sprinkled across the background. The gown and flannel 'onesie' style flannel underwear are original to this lucky baby; the extra slip is added for fullness, She has newly made silk crochet booties.... which she will probably kick off her fat little feet when she gets excited seeing you for the first time when she comes home.
...after all, it IS Baby's First Easter... coming soon!!
Her composition is in nearly MINT condition -- with NO CRAZING at all; she still has vivid PINK BLUSH to her paint -- GREAT COLORING -- arms and head are all original with NO. Her newly made replaced cloth body is immaculately clean as would be expected -- baby has NO odors from storage.
Her tin litho eyes are CLEAR -- these are BEAUTIFUL! Her painted lashes have survived, but her brows are no longer present, as is common with these little ones.
Her gorgeous plump hands, feet and legs are simply adorable. NOTE she does have the celluloid finger nails (and toenails, too!) -- this a feature Effanbee used on very special dolls in its line, NOTE TOO, her darling "gold' ring on her left hand. Absolutely amazing doll to find after more than 70 years!
Baby LAMBKINS sits beautifully and poses well in her INCLUDED antique white wool receiving blanket with generous ribbon ties to keep baby safe while peacefully sleeping as you await her arrival -- charming you with her adorable face and chubby baby hands... she could not be sweeter!
Her arm connectors work smoothly so you can raise and lower her arms in different positions; her head turns completely as well -- all adding nicely to her ability to pose and highlight her adorable features -- this baby has a LOT of CHARM and PERSONALITY and as the Effanbee slogan promises -- she is a doll to STEAL YOUR HEART.
