Exquisite and Rare. Vintage 1932 predecessor of the early issue 11" Betsy Wetsy Baby Doll. Complete  in her travel display suitcase. Includes all original layette and accessories.
 
BEAUTIFUL UN-PLAYED WITH DOLL with PRISTINE outfits.
 
Ducky was issued in the early 1930s until the production of Betsy Wetsy. 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.
 
Ducky 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. Ducky is a drink-and-wet baby doll, and includes her original GLASS NURSING BOTTLE with its deteriorated rubber nipple (in small box with original blue sponge and Colgate Soap) Includes her little tiny pill box where the original owner (probably a little girl) wrote 'Ducky'/'Tab'/December 1932... a wonderful Christmas Gift that appears not to have been played with.
 
She has her ORIGINAL RUBBER BODY in its expected hardened and worn condition. However, this is the ONLY one I have ever seen that is still viable with working joints. All joints move but care needs to be taken to ensure they continue to be attached. Her legs separated and I reattached them so they work to enable her to stand or sit and easily be dressed in her darling outfits.
 
Simply beautiful high-color vibrant face with nearly flawless dark chocolate molded curls... and she shines, shines, shines! This adorable, chubby-cheeked baby appears to have never been played with. When I received her she was nestled in her case wearing her pink organdy dotted Swiss dress with matching bonnet, one full slip; cotton day dress; white flannel nightgown;  pink pajamas with matching bathrobe and kimono jacket -- all with bird appliques; white flannel diaper; white cotton single-button undershirt; and her pink-and-white knit booties tied with original pink ribbons (they have never been removed). All in MINT condition. 
 
Her suitcase shows some wear but still sturdy and latches securely. The inner graphics are bright and clear making a nice display for this darling girl.
