Darling and popular 18” Baby Dear doll, first issued in 1960, designed by Eloise Wilkins.
This little one looks never to have been played with, and has a pleasant gentle scent like a new baby! She is super cuddly soft and her 'burp' squeaker works.
Gorgeous little baby face with light blonde hair has an immaculately clean body -- her stuffing allows her head to drape and place her in adorable poses. She has a sweet baby smell. If you have ever tried to photograph and ‘capture’ the true color of a Baby Dear’s hair, you know it depends on the lighting and angle; this baby has pretty light blonde hair.
This happy baby is in LIKE NEW condition having been completely restored. She now has new, clean and natural kapok stuffing — fat and sassy, she sits up comfortably and poses ‘oh so many ways’. Inside is her restored 'burp' squeaker so it sounds exactly as it did when she was first 'born'. Her hair is clean and bright as it was when she was born.
Included layette:
- SUPER RARE FAO Schwarz issue outfit -- Blue and white print cotton knit kimono and white flannel side-snap diaper -- in the exact same design print as the rare terry knit pajamas that were also issued by FAO Schwarz (see page 268 in the Vogue doll book for reference).

Baby Dear comes to you immaculately clean and fresh with NO stains or fading on body or limbs.
IF you collect these little darlings, you know they are much like potato chips, and cannot be resisted or denied. Dress them often, as they look charming and enjoy being fussed over."
