GORGEOUS!! She is the medium-sized Tiny Tears made in the 1950s, measuring approx. 15" -- the size most proportionately close approximating the size of a 'real baby' for a young child to hold -- this is the baby Tiny Tears with the hands-down rubber body and pretty green eyes. She was made circa 1951 or 1952. This baby is NOT to be missed if you want to own a piece of doll history ... Her coloring is exquisite.
 
Tiny Tears is appropriately marked on the back of her neck 'Pat Pend / American Character'. Her coloring is classic and lovely. Beautiful brown molded hair has only slight rubs at the very back; the face is a rich, warm HIGH COLOR that only the earliest dolls have -- original blush on her cheeks still there -- brows and under lashes well-defined and clear. Pretty green eyes with full brush lashes, are even and thick; well-fitted.
 
EXCELLENT Tiny Tears who has been stored for almost 75 years -- all alone and waiting for you to take her home!
 
The rubber body on a Tiny Tears is the biggest source of concern when making the decision to purchase. This baby's rubber body is in excellent condition -- strong, with only the NO CRAZING... Still SQUEEZABLE and sweet. Rubber has some variation in coloring on the legs; all fingers and toes are there -- no fear dressing and redressing this baby -- she is ready for play!
 
After examining your new baby carefully, you will delight in her original clothing: EARLY ISSUE and hard to find pink dimity dress and matching bonnet; original white cotton full slip; white single-button knit undershirt, "Big Girl" panties, soft white flannel triangle diaper (rare early one... later issued in birds eye weave); VERY RARE flannel floral BUNNY themed kimono robe; and original pink-and-white booties. All items pictured are included.
 
Baby's dress is in near mint condition... still fresh and lovely.
 
A wonderful Tiny Tears doll and her complete layette!
