Vintage 1930s Effanbee 11" Dy-Dee Ette baby doll in her FAO Schwarz trunk with huge original Effanbee Dy-Dee doll layette.
One of the most beautiful Dy-Dee Ette dolls I have ever had in my collection. She has high color and vivid, well-defined painted features. Her 'only' flaw is a small spot out on the outer 'apple' of her left cheek that is hard to see and not distracting. Her gorgeous blue eyes open and close perfectly; her brush lashes are all present -- thick, even and full. She comes with a soft, even-toned exceptional rubber body with no dryness, cracking or crazing; all joints are firm and pose well... pretty much couldn't ask for better.
Baby Ette comes in her FAO Schwarz cardboard two-tier display trunk that is in great condition but faded with wear on the outside; still, sturdy and great for displaying and presenting your little treasure. Inside the trunk has Dy-Dee's pink-and-white reversible eiderdown Signature esmond blanket in perfect condition... so hard to find one so nice. There is her special BLUE ruffled organdy layette pad that I have shown layered in the top tier tray. What a great setup!
