Exquisite and Rare. Vintage 1930s early issue 11" Betsy Wetsy Baby Doll in her travel display suitcase. Includes all original layette and accessories.
 
Betsy was issued from the 1930s through the early 1960s. This is her original conception designed by Bernard Lipfert, the infamous creator of some of the most life-like and hence very popular dolls of that era. Simply stunning.
 
Betsy Wetsy here was produced at the same time as the hey-day of Dy-Dee by Effanbee. They have similar attributes and were both extremely well-received by little girls for play and nurturing. Betsy Wetsy is a drink-and-wet baby doll, and includes her ORIGINAL IDEAL marked GLASS NURSING BOTTLE with somewhat deteriorated rubber nipple. She has a REPLACED rubber body that is in excellent condition, soft and supple, and just about mint. All joints move smoothly; the body is a perfect fit replacement in size and proportion.
 
Simply beautiful high-color vibrant face with nearly flawless dark chocolate molded curls... and she shines, shine, shines! This adorable, chubby-cheeked baby appears to have never been played with. When I received her she was nestled in her case with her two original organdy dresses with matching bonnets, one full slip, white flannel pajamas with bird applique, pink chennile bathrobe, white flannel diaper, rayon socks, and white oilcloth moccasins. All in near mint condition. The shoes are still white and soft.
 
Accessories include flannel round wipes, 2 cakes of soap (unwrapped), clothes pins, and her glass nursing bottle embossed with IDEAL.
 
Her suitcase shows some staining and wear but still sturdy and latches securely. The inner graphics are bright and clear making a nice display for this darling girl.
