This baby is a brown molded hair near mint 20" Effanbee Dy-Dee LOUISE from the late 1930's to early 1940's in the Mold 2 --she is just as cute as can be -- this BIGGEST and most adorable Effanbee Dy-Dee Lou / Dy-Dee Louise. She has a beautiful molded hair head and HIGH COLOR rosy cheeks -- a lovely find.
ALL ORIGINAL doll has NO restoration or repaint -- Gorgeous original high color with a FLAWLESS face.
The 20" Dy-Dee dolls are the HARDEST to find of all the Dy-Dee dolls issued, and when you do find one it is often times in poor shape... this lovely baby girl has a gorgeous head and excellent rubber body and comes with her pretty layette as shown... nice opportunity to pick one up... and MY favorite size and issue of the Dy-Dee dolls because she is almost like a REAL BABY in looks, feel and function.
For those of you who are new to Dy-Dee, she is a marvelous WONDER DOLL. She can drink and wet like many baby dolls, but when she wets the special valve system inside allows the moisture to leak out slowly from her backside opening -- just like a real baby. She is VERY HEAVILY weighted to feel like a real baby in your arms, too. Another unique feature is that you can turn her head to the side with her eyes open, and when you go to lay her down her eyes stay open. Alternatively, you can close her eyes and turn her head to keep them closed even when she is held upright. She can BLOW BUBBLES and loves to be bathed. Her special jointed system prevents water from getting inside her when bathing -- just an all-around AMAZING doll. Any little girl would be happy with a Dy-Dee of her own, how about you?
Dy-Dee has a gorgeous head and body... nothing like the 'squeaky' sound a Dy-Dee doll's rubber joints emit when moved. She poses well as her joints are firm -- her rubber is in excellent condition -- she has been cleaned and has even skin tone -- still firm and strong with little crazing. Lovely hands, but toes have some drying and roughness as pictured.
Her beautiful baby head... Her face is just lovely -- absolutely GORGEOUS, with an open nurser mouth; well defined painted brows and under lashes; and a rosy complexion. BEAUTIFUL and nearly perfect rubber inset EARS! AUBURN molded hair has little to no wear... but for a rather distressing 'boo-boo' to the back of her head where the paint is scraped... my photos should be a very good representation of her condition... both head and body.
She has lovely brown eyes, and they open and close perfectly -- beautiful brush lashes are all there, thick, full and even.
Dy-Dee comes dressed in her beautiful original Effanbee yellow floral cotton dimity baby dress and matching ruffled bonnet, freshly made white eyelet slip, yellow roses themed CHIX diaper; a pair of white rubber pants; and a lovely pair of new old-store-stock rayon socks.
This Little Darling comes home with her own 'matching' baby rattle toy.
All clothing in MINT condition -- GREAT doll and her clothing, ready to come home and begin her new life.
