This is one of several sizes made of this most highly sought after baby doll -- especially at this time of year with the Christmas holiday approaching! This is the FAMOUS Ideal baby doll who Natalie Wood cuddled in the movie -- The Miracle on 34th Street. All of us grew up watching this film and came away with "I Believe" no matter what age we were at the time. A warm reminder that our pure, childhood thoughts and dreams are worthwhile.
This is a GORGEOUS Baby! These dolls were made by Ideal Toy Co and marketed under the name "Baby Beautiful". They came in a wide range of sizes as well as with blue eyes (this one), or brown eyes.
Baby Beautiful is GORGEOUS in her equally gorgeous ORIGINAL white cotton organdy dress, organdy bonnet, and her salmon pink viyella fabric coat and bonnet set. This outfit is original to this lovely baby... only missing her slip and replaced pantaloons; I have replaced the slip with a new, old-store-stock Feltman Bros. made of bright, crisp white cotton with lace trim. The organdy dress is in excellet condition with no stains or tears. Her coat is made of English Viyella fabric (a lovely blend of wool and cotton) and trimmed in silk embroidery. I have added a pair of faux leather mocassins that she is very proud of having.
Baby herself is in near MINT CONDITION having been fully restored; this restoration left baby with some intermittent roughness under the newly painted veneer, but not readily apparent, especially as any is covered by her clothing. Lovely blue eyes open and close perfectly. Her cloth body is strong and intact -- a newly-fitted fabric cloth body has been fitted over her old, darkened one -- a beautiful and clean baby! These dolls are very hard to find in this condition in any size... WOULDN'T SHE LOOK FABULOUS ... GREAT PRESENT!
PERFECT GIFT for a Special "Someone"~
