IF you are an avid collector of Baby Dear you will surely want to bring this little sweetheart home.
This is the REDESIGNED doll that first came out as the 2nd issue in 1964 -- and was not designed by Eloise Wilkins; this baby is not to be confused with the next generation that came out shortly afterwards. You will note she has eyebrows and an adorable 'open closed mouth' that is very different than the closed mouth and browless version that is common now. Both of the redesigned versions now had sleep eyes.
I have only seen 2 of these little ones in this size and one in the 18" size. Most collectors are not aware of this especially elusive mold. I have treasured her both from an historical point of view, as well as absolutely loves her adorable face.
Baby Dear is referenced in the Vogue Dolls book on pages 269 and 270. She was marketed as "New, Pretty Baby Dear", and still retained the soft vinyl arms and legs. She is correctly marked "VOGUE DOLL / 1964" with the expected ©1960/E. Wilkin.
This unique and RARE version of the Baby Dear product line comes dressed in her pink cotton topper with matching diaper. She has her original hang tag. She was never played with still retains her plastic head covering to protect her shiny blond hair.
She has a gorgeous healthy glow to her lovely face with the prettiest and lightest blonde hair -- thick and full, with no missing plugs and is clean and shiny and can be combed.
This happy baby is in MINT condition — fat and sassy, she has a pleasant and huggable body that is immaculately clean.
She is a PRIZE for a collector who will appreciate this special little girl.
Both baby doll and her outfit are ready to come home to meet her new family~
YOU WILL LOVE THIS BABY DEAR -- If you collect them, you know they are much like potato chips, and cannot be resisted or denied. Dress them often, as they look charming and enjoy being fussed over.
