Perfectly darling and excellent condition 1949 Effanbee BabyKin, ALL ORIGINAL hard plastic baby doll.
 
Doll #2 -- see 2nd to last photo for side-by-side of the two I currently have available in my shop.
 
This is the elusive and VERY RARE all hard plastic 10" issue of Effanbee BabyKIN from 1949. Doll is unplayed with and PRISTINE in excellent condition. These dolls are very hard to find as they are UNMARKED, but documented in Effanbee reference books.
 
Baby has great coloring and is in lightly played with condition.
 
Effanbee and other popular doll manufacturers often issued 'updated' later versions of earlier dolls in their line. Here, BabyKin is all hard plastic and quite different looking than her predecessor from the 1930s (surely not even recognizable as such). Although they don't share any apparent 'genetic' similarities, she is darling all on her own and a 'milestone' in that she joined the 'new trend' in marketing in 1949 when hard plastic dolls first came into popularity. She joins other manufactuer's HP dolls like Madame Alexander Precious (whom I have listed in my shop as well).
 
BabyKin comes dressed in her ORIGINAL cotton playsuit, and replaced soft 'MaryJane' style shoes from her same era.
 
My last photo shows a display set of another Babykin doll I sold years ago in her display box set -- listed for reference purposes only.
 
Sweet little Baby welcomes a new home!
